1. If you think about what to do during a fight or an accident of some sort, it will take up valuable time. You want to act on instincts or reflexes automatically because timing is everything.

2. You can control your breathing when you're awake, allong with your sphincter and stuff, and some people can even controll their heartbeat, but when your asleep you want your lungs to keep breathing, your heart to keep beating, and your intestines to not go without your permission... all over your bed, and it would be all warm and slimy and gooey, and sticky, and steamy. So those muscles have to automatically controll themselves.

You have to chose to use the muscle. Your body doesn't do it by itself. Your heart for instance is a voluntary muscle because your body uses the muscle by itself and you don't chose to have your heart beat.
