What Causes Difficulty In Breathing At Night?

Last night i woke through the night, unable to breathe i had to sit up and catch my breath. This pattern has not happened for a while, but about a year ago i had this happen about 6-8 times. it is quiet scary as i cant breathe, once i have caught my breathe i feel fine and will fall back to slep.
