Taping Your Mouth When You Sleep Can Change Your Life
// A mini-thread //
The average human spends about 26 years of their life sleeping or about ⅓ of our life. How we spend that time sleeping matters. Particularly when we spend time mouth breathing.
If you want to learn more about mouth breathing, here are a few threads:
Mouth breathing at night can lead to:
• Snoring
• Fatigue
• Poor concentration
• Abnormal facial growth
• Increased risk of cavities
• Crooked teeth
• Moodiness
• Dehydration and Dry Mouth
• Elevated Blood Pressure
• Asthma and allergies
• ADHD
MOUTH TAPING:
By placing a piece of tape over your lips before going to bed, your mouth will remain closed while you sleep, prompting you to naturally breathe through the nose.
You may find that mouth taping is challenging to start.
A great way to ease your way in, is by practicing during the day for small periods of time and working your way up.
As far as what to use: Medical or Kinesio tape is a great option, otherwise, specialty strips can be purchased with more optimal shape and fit. Taping vertically or horizontally may work better for you.
