What causes a breeze?
Because there isn't some person that's asleep and whenever he breathes out, there's a gust of wind.

A sea-breeze (or onshore breeze) is a wind from the sea that develops over land near coasts. It is formed by increasing temperature differences between the land and water which create a pressure minimum over the land due to its relative warmth and forces higher pressure, cooler air from the sea to move inland.
The sea is warmed by the sun to a greater depth than the land due to its greater specific heat.[1] The sea therefore has a greater capacity for absorbing heat than does the land and so the surface of the sea warms up more slowly than the land's surface. As the temperature of the surface of the land rises, the land heats the air above it. The warm air is less dense and so it rises. This rising air over the land lowers the sea level pressure by about 0.2%. The cooler air above the sea, now with relatively higher sea level pressure, flows towards the land into the lower pressure, creating a cooler breeze near the coast. The strength of the sea breeze is directly proportional to the temperature difference between the land and the sea. If the environmental wind field is greater than 8 knots and opposing the direction of a possible sea breeze, the sea breeze is not likely to develop

a breeze starts out as a fart. It gradually gathers momentum and builds up to a breeze. If allowed to run its full coarse the consequences can be deadly,
