My mother is worried as she tells me i started to cover my whole face, even my nostrils during sleep at night without me noticing i do something like this. any idea what might be causing this?

I wouldn't worry about it. Your body has protective fail/safe systems that make you move if such events blocked you airway. I consider it just random movement of no health significance. You have evidently lived well in spite of it.
