Brief halt in breathing (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apnoea

(Other definitions for apnoea that I've seen before include "Temporary suspension of breathing during sleep" , "Partial suspension of breath, in sleep say" , "Temporary cessation of breathing, when asleep" , "choke" , "Asphyxia" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
