Sleep apnea: This is not normal but it sounds like you have a surprisingly common problem called sleep apnea. This can be confirmed with a sleep study- ask your doctor about this. It is often treated with a device called CPAP but may also be treated with a mouthpiece and/or orofacial myotherapy. See http://www.Nhlbi.Nih.Gov/health/health-topics/topics/sleepapnea/.
