Hi Eddy :)

It may just be that our breathing does slow down a little as we enter sleep and maybe you're noticing it and it's alarming you.

See how you go for the next few days and if you're still worried go have a chat with your doctor and see what they say, but I'm sure it's all fine :)

Have you been having any stomach problems lately, like a lot of belching. If so it could be that your slightly bloated and its affecting your lungs.
