Holding my breath

I like to read. Books, magazines, comics, you name it (as long as the topic's within interrest). I usually read a few pages before going to sleep, or fall asleep reading (either way).

I don't like laying on my back, because my bed don't allow for half-sitting, so there's no comfort in doing so, resorting to laying on my stomach. Every now and then I've found that when I'm half asleep while reading, and stubborn enough to try and fight it (but losing), I lock my neck and shoulders to keep my head up, close my eyes to doze of for a few, and......unvoluntarily hold my breath. Wtf!?

It's kind of scary, actually. Every time I wake up with a gasp and my eyes go O_O as I draw a deep breath, trying to figure out what the hell just happened.

Is my body perhaps trying to kill me?
