I’ve wondered about that myself. I’m glad to see I’m not alone. Sometimes, for no reason and without doing it myself, my body with suck in a big breath. Doctors are always saying to breathe deeper, but I can’t remember that every half hour. Maybe it’s just natural to breathe shollow and when the body needs more it’ll take in a bigger one on its own.
