As someone with massive sleeping issues - no, that is not normal.

As @alienzx@feddit.nl mentioned, it might be sleep apnea. make audio recordings of your sleep - it should be pretty obvious the moment you are able to get the first breath in again, it will probably be a pretty noisy event. If you have apnea: DONT DELAY SEEING YOUR DOCTORS. This condition causes brain damage over time, you dont want to wait this one out.

If it isn’t that, get your bloodwork done, there’s a load of things that might be an issue.
