Weird sleeping/breathing?
Another (odd) question... Maybe someone might have some sort of knowledge
about this, seeing as it definitely seems everyone seems to know their stuff lol When I sleep, I guess I kind of hold my breath. I actually didn't notice it first. Laying in bed one night, N jabbed at me with his elbow (not hard, just a little, 'hey, let me have your attention!' type thing) and told me to simply "stop that". Confused, I asked what he was talking about and why he's poking at me when I'm trying to sleep. He told me to stop holding my breath. I didn't even know I was. He said that I have been doing it more and more - and once he pointed it out, I did actually notice it, but I also find that even now, when I notice it, it takes actual effort to think to stop holding my breath. I also know that I don't hold my breath until I pass out or anything like that. I don't feel light headed, more or less tired/awake. It's a regular inhale, and then at the end of inhaling, my breath is held, maybe 5-6 seconds. Then an exhale, and same thing, at the end of exhale, hold breath for 5-6 seconds or so. Not each and every time I breathe, but often enough. Often enough that N notices it at night and I also notice it (he notices more than I do if we're both awake) I'm not 100% sure when this started, but I know it hasn't happened all along. It's been maybe the last couple months max. I think it was brought to my attention about 2 or so months ago - shortly after I found out I was pg. It seems to be something I'm slightly aware of every other night, sometimes nightly. Not sure if it's related or not to this pregnancy (never noticed this before, pregnant or not) or if it's a concern. I still fall asleep and I can't say for sure if it continues while I'm sleeping, but N says that he notices it when I am asleep, although it's very seldom (happens more when I'm going to sleep) and a simple jab is enough to make me shift or roll over and stop doing it, even though I don't feel I'm actually doing it (or doing it on purpose or being very aware of it) Any ideas or has anyone ever heard of something like this before? |
