It can come from stress, or deep thinking where your not really physically conscious. What I did was pit a sign on my door that says breathe so I realise!!

 I've had this happen to me, too. I'll be deep in thought about something, really focusing, and I'll notice my breathing is out of breath and I've realized that I hadn't really been breathing for a second or two. Unless if you feel light-headed or something, it's nothing to worry about.

 This can be natural. When I have been really focused during physical activity such as situps I tend not to breath and have to consciously think about breathing. Try to focus on breathing when you are in tha state. Your body won't let you hold your breath too long it might just take a bit of practice to get rid of the gasping at the end.
