Why sometimes when i'm laying down i feel the need to take a really deep breath sometimes i wake up like that aswell?

When you lie on your back there is some compression of the lung meaning less volume so that may trigger the need for a deep breath. Side sleeping is better. May also be sleep apnea so would be evaluated for that especially if you snore. or due to reflux. Would follow up with MD for assessment
