Sleep problems: Sleep problems like this need to be evaluated by your doctor. You may have sleep apnea and are waking up because you can't breath. This is a serious problem but it can be treated with a CPAP machine or an oral appliance made by a dentist. This is serious. Schedule an appointment ASAP.
