Hello,
Welcome to HCM and thanks for your query.
I understand your concern.
Unfortunately to help you find a solution to your sleeping problem, I require more information like whether you are over weight or obese, snore at night etc.
The pain between the breasts especially if it is burning and more at night , is suggestive of GERD a provoker for asthma.
Sleep apnoea is a common cause of improper sleep at night. Nocturnal exacerbation of asthma also makes one sleepless.
Take care,
I find this answer helpful
