Thanks for the reply. She sleeps just fine in bed, no breathing problems at all. Its in an easy chair, often with food and/or drink in her hand(s), she simply passes out and drops everything on the floor.

@pjw5610 Hypotension is a possibility, or perhaps bradycardia. She should be assessed formally by a cardiologist.

@pjw5610 My aunt used to do that, but it was from exhaustion. What is your wife's age? It could be narcolepsy as was already stated above. I would be fearful of her falling asleep while driving. Keep us posted. I am sorry she gets angry with you. Is she unaware that it is happening?
