When you are in deep sleep the body breathes naturally does it not? The body does what it does naturally without "your" involvement. You do not have full control over your breathing.

Actually, it's not true that the body continues breathing uninterrupted when asleep. Sleep studies have shown that everyone stops breathing repeatedly during sleep. Some people never notice, and just roll over and go back to sleep when their body wakes them up due to lack of oxygen. Others stay awake and have trouble getting back to sleep. Sleep apnea is part of the human condition, according to sleep experts. Even children have some degree of sleep apnea.
