This is caused by a medical condition known as "sleep apnea." It can be caused by overweight, or by parts of your palate becoming slack. There are sprays that offer relief for mild cases and surgery for severe cases. A very efficient non-invasive treatment is to use a COPD mask. Basically a mask you put on your face with a bit of overpresssure in it to help you breathe.

Why do you stop breathing while asleep?

Our bodies need oxygen every single minute of every single day of our lifes (whether your awake or asleep). If we stopped breathing while we are asleep 2 things will happen: 1. Carbon dioxide levels in our bodies will increase (it is essential to get rid of this carbon dioxide gas from our body) and 2. Without oxygen, the cells in our body will stop working and as a result our organs and eventually our systems will all shut down. If this happens, death will result.
