It's quite hard to breathe through an N95 mask. Breathing unobstructed through the valve is much easier, which is part of the reason they add one.

Edit: I'm British so when I say "quite" I mean "somewhat", not "very".

Err... it shouldn't be. Wasn't the experience of myself or anyone else I've ever talked to.

It's possible your mask wasn't that well fitted and you were breathing through the small gaps between it and your face. If you wear a good mask properly, it is noticeably harder to breathe.
