Uhm...if I did I wouldn't be here to answer this question.... Unless you have some sort of condition, I doubt that we are capable to "forget" to breathe...for long periods of time, that is.
-
Very rarely... but sometimes. I wonder what all the built up of pressure is and then like a light-bulb shining in my head I notice that I am not actually breathing!
-
How can you not? If I forgot to breathe then I would'nt be on answerbag

i hope not lol i did have a weird attack once not long ago where i couldnt breathe properly and i was hyperventalating and anyway the ambulence had to take me to hospital and put me on a ecg machine. omg that was scary i felt really faint like i was going to collapse and all my mouth went really weird and felt tingly. i still dont know what it was
-
Occassionally, Luckily it seems to be a pretty good body reflex because at the moment I would forget to do anything.
-
No. Is this possible?
-
Sometimes when I am sleeping on my back I will wake up gasping for air. I think that might be more of a medical condition than forgetting to breathe. It's only when Im really anxious though.I have an anxiety and panic disorder so sometimes I get labored breathing,which is similar.
-
No, but I gotta keep reminding myself to.
-
All the time. I'll concentrate on something, and wonder why the sudden panicking feeling is building in my chest. Oh, I forgot to breathe again! I know that a part of your brain regulates breathing, but maybe it was busy doing something else at the time.
-
I do if I fall asleep really fast on my back I wake up gasping. It's pretty annoying. It is called aleep apnea.
-
Sometimes I do and it freaks me out to gasp for air out of nowhere. I get stares.
-
Breathing is an automatic response sent from the brain, so at no time can we forget to breathe.
-
Every once in a while but then a light bulb comes on in my head that says... BREATH BREATH Damnit!
-
there is a condition (i can't remember what it's called but we learned about it in med-school) where there is a disturbance in the autonomic nervous system that controls the normal breathing rhythm. usually these people have to be on a ventilator or will die. there are milder cases like you described where you "forget to breathe" - it's not that your forgetting because it's not something you think about, but you notice the hypoxia caused by not breathing that causes you to take a deep breath.
-
i once went 9 months without breathing :0
-
Only when im drowning, hasn't happened for a while :D
-
only when im conscious of my breathing.
-
Sometimes!
-
Yep..Sometimes at night when I'm sleeping, but it always wakes me up and I start breathing again, so it's okay. It's a bit scary though and I feel like I can't get the air quick enough, even though I do. It freaks me out so I stay awake the rest of the night.
-
i forget to breathe well let me rephrase that .. i just take very very short breathes and i forget to take normal deep breathes. I think that's what they are talking about anyway. I do this when i'm sleeping and when i'm awake. Its actually really annoying because i have to remind myself breathe! I dont know why this happen i hope it stops though =[
-
um no, see, i have been doing it, for, well, a long time, and so i just dont forget something like BREATHING... haha...well, maybe when i swim =]
