    when in a sleep state, you stop breathing for a period of time.


    You usually need to sleep in semi fowler's or high fowler's position. You need to see a doctor for a sleep study, your doctor can prescribe a CPAP to wear at night to keep you breathing.


    Yes people do die in their sleep from it. There are other health risk. too.
