I have had this on and off for ages now, but it has only just started to affect my sleeping pattern. This type of air hunger is more of an irrational feeling which makes you breath in heavily and yawn a lot trying to catch your breath. It seems to occur when I am consciously thinking of the way I am breathing, and for some reason, this is what I do when I try to get to sleep. This leads to the air hunger which in turn leads to an increased heart rate. It seems stupid, but its really annoying and I can't seem to stop it. Does anyone have any ideas? breathing exercises? At the minute, all I can do is get up and read or do something to make it go away, and by then I'm awake again so don't end up getting to sleep till about 3 in the morning from going to bed at 11. :(
I've only had it the past few days because my parents have gone away for a couple of days and left me home alone so i'm not in the normal routine. So it'll probably go away again once everything's back to normal.
