Human: Its pretty common for people to die in their sleep. How exactly does this happen?

Assistant: Usually people die in their sleep because they had a pre-existing condition or illness.  In particular, usually heart conditions or some other lung issues, if the person had a heart attack, or respiratory problems, for example, can lead to death in their sleep.  This can also be called a Sudden Unexplained Death in Sleep (or “SUDS”).  Do you have a particular case that you’re interested in, or are you asking more generally?

Assistant: As you mentioned, it is actually quite common. There are many possible causes of a death like this, but I will first ask you, do you know anything about why people sleep?
