It's probably sleep apnea. The same thing happens to me. I had a sleep study done and apparently, it doesn't happen often enough for me to need a CPAP, but it may be different for you.

I’m guessing sleep apnea is cause by my weight?
Yes, probably. I had surgery about 17 years ago but then it wasn’t my weight. I was very overweight according to the ENT doctor.
Curiously though, I was in the hospital two years ago because I couldn’t breathe, day or night. I felt like I had a python around my chest.
I lost weight and it lessened. I’m gaining again, and it’s happening more frequently. I’m under a lot of stress too, and I was two years ago.
Yours could be a combination of weight and stress.
