Sounds like a sleep disorder could be happening.
Try watching him sleep, a video would be better.
During sleep if he is making noise, moving around a lot, sweats, breaths through his mouth, or makes extra effort to breath, you should take him to a pediatric sleep specialist who is boarded in sleep medicine. Taking care of these problems early in life is very important.
There are other sleep disorders that can cause disrupted sleep and should be checked for, however, difficulty breathing during sleep is the most common.
Best wishes,
