Ok.. Just spent the night with my gf for one of the first times the day b4 yesterday and she noticed this weird thing which kinda freaked her out. She wakes up easily and noticed that every once in awhile I would stop breathing, then she'd nudge me and I'd start to again. I never wake up when this happens, so it just seems to happen for a couple secs, but I was wondering if anyone knew what the name for this condition is, if there is one, and whether it has any negative side effects? Oh, and on the way back from the camping trip I kept dozing off and waking up gasping for air, but i've never had that happen since then or before... it seemed to only happen when is started to snore?

Thanks for the help,
