Sleep disorder?: Have your described these events to your physician? Depending on the detail account of events, you may be referred to a neurology or pulmonary sleep specialist and need to undergo a polysomnogram (sleep study). Keep a log of these episodes and take it to your physician. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003932.htm
