    It specifically sounds like a non-obstructive sleep apnea - those are usually treated pharmaceutically rather than with a cpap which is a lot easier to manage when traveling!

      This issue only occurs when i go into a deep meditation specific to relaxing my muscles before sleep. I had to learn this as a kid because my mind would race for hours trying to fall asleep. With a few different techniques, I can fall asleep within 15 minutes. 5 if I’m already tired. But it wasn’t until recently that i discovered i could push the technique far enough to relax my autonomous breathing. But probably very much related to sleep apnea, just not quite the same in my case.

        Well that’s the reason I called out non-obstructive sleep apnea. I’ve got regular ol’ obstructive sleep apnea - my brain never stops trying to breathe it just gets physically impede sometimes. If you have non-obstructive sleep apnea you should talk to someone since you may have a larger autonomic nervous disorder which may also at some point do something even worse like forgetting to ask your heart to beat.
