Breathing issues

I am always looking for little quirks that my husband/kids have. So of course I start googling and reading some studies.... there is something peculiar that happens to some CMTers when they wake up.....
The gist of the article: because the malfunction of the nerves in the lungs and associated muscles, there is a buildup of CO2 in the blood. When you get up and move around, your body tries to purge that carbon dioxide and ya cough like a maniac. My husband and kids do this. It sounds terrible...gagging, coughing, choking, and gasping at the same time. Yeeeck

CMTers: When you wake up, do you cough a ton?
