When I started sleeping alone after getting divorced I often thought I could hear someone else breathing. It took a good few months to realise it was me - I worked it out by holding my breath for a few seconds! I've also often heard someone climbing the stairs, opening my door and then felt them sit on the side of the bed. My sister has heard and felt the same things in her house. It's nothing supernatural, just down to sleep paralysis, which occurs in the transition between being awake and falling asleep. Nothing to worry about.
