I was lying in bed this morning, half awake, when i realized I was doing controlled breathing, so as not to waste air. It gave me quite a chuckle. I suppose there will be more of that to come.

I do this nearly every morning before getting up - its very relaxing.
 
When you sleep you tend to do "controlled" breathing, as your breathing is slow and deeper than normal.
 
True, but as i lay there in bed, I was consciously regulating my breathing, thinking I had a second stage in my mouth.

A few hundred dives in a rock quarry should cure you of your addiction/need to constantly think and dream about diving at every waking moment.;)

If you're worried about "wasting air" in-bed; you have to ask yourself if your in-bed with the right person... :-)
 
Sounds like you didn't have to do your morning constitutionals. Try doing it when nature calls. Just remember, you're not peeing into you wetsuit.
 
When I am just falling asleep, my breathing is slow, deep and relaxed. I use that analogy for my student divers. The relaxed even tempo works well for air consumption and buoyancy and most can relate.

Living in Thailand the smoke from chili/cooking can be overbearing from street vendors at times. CESA breathing helps me get past it. Just be a little silent with the ah...
