Discover the latest sleep hack that has taken social media by storm since early 2020 - mouth taping! In this video, I delve into the practice of sleeping with your lips held shut by a strip of surgical tape, exploring its supposed health benefits and potential risks.
Breathing through the nose has numerous advantages, including humidifying and filtering the air, promoting deeper breaths, and aiding relaxation. Nasal breathing also stimulates the production of nitric oxide, which can improve blood flow and lower blood pressure. On the other hand, mouth breathing during sleep can lead to dry mouth, dental issues, bad breath, hoarseness, and dry lips.
While mouth taping may seem like a simple solution, it may not be suitable for everyone. Conditions like a deviated septum, allergies, sinusitis, or chronic nasal congestion can hinder nasal breathing, making mouth taping impractical for some individuals.
To provide a comprehensive understanding, I share the findings of a few small studies that have explored mouth taping's potential in alleviating sleep apnea and reducing snoring. Join me as I document my own research, experiences, and insights on this intriguing subject.
