- Dentist, author, and sleep and airway specialist, Dr. Mark Burhenne, answers questions from readers and offers the real science behind the otherwise sketchy-seeming practice of mouth taping at night. See more Q&As with respiratory experts at mrjamesnestor.com/breath
I started taping nearly four years ago. I was experiencing obstructive sleep apnea, dreaming that I was drowning. Th e ENT dismissed me completely and was steering me to a CPAP. My wise husband said that would never work for me. I sleep with a pillow over my head and on my side. Anyway, I was exhausted all the time, my blood pressure was climbing and then the apnea. So! I found the taping after loads of research. Adapted to it in a few days, slept like a baby, blood pressure is normal. And the ENT was skeptical BUT said he wish he could have done a sleep study on me before I taped. BTW I was recording myself at night before and after and it was dramatic! I never sleep without tape now. Never. The tape does not ‘train’ me; I have a recessed jaw and my mouth will always fall open. So I need the tape and use it vertically. Also follow the Buteyko Clinic. I’m over 60 and this was a life changer.
Amazing! I’ve adopted Myobrace treatment for my jaws and mouth breathing issues. Next few weeks will be my first nights with the myobrace in, but I’ll try and adopt mouth tape as well!
Go back to the ent and tell them to take a bite and leave. There's nothing worse then paying to see an arrogant health worker. Wouldn't even call them a health professional. A lot of them are dangerous zombies.

Ok
Women in general don't snore. Tape isn't going to solve apnea.
I tape and I DO feel better! I’d like to do another sleep study “with tape” but the insurance won’t cover it, so I’m going based on just feeling better.. strangely there’s been times I fall asleep & forget to put tape on … boy am I a mess the next day ..so it’s gotta be beneficial!
After mouth taping for a month now, my teeth has become whiter and no more inflammation of the gums.
Ended addiction to sweets and no more sugar in my coffee after mouth taping for a month.
Amazing benefits. I saw a difference in quality of sleep on the first day. Then i remembered my dream after a very very long time.
Sleeping with tape for 2 nights now snd have been dreaming both of them 😃 normally seemed that I dream maybe few nights in many weeks....maybe just remembering better now?🤔
You know James, it wouldn't suprise me if you could write an eye opening book about crying... The way a deep emotional cry helps me to get my breath back for days and longer amazes me every time. Especialy if i couldn't cry for a long time. Like now with all the lockdown stress. It makes a lockdown of my whole breating system. Sometimes so heavy that breating exersizes don't work..... But a deep cry does... Thanks for everything you do at the moment. The world benefits bigtime!
Been doing mouth taping for about two months made a huge difference in my sleep and I no longer get any kind of brain fog that I used to get. I just feel more awake and alert during my waking hours. So easy to do I almost never even notice the tape over my mouth, don't ever wake up in the night with a dry mouth anymore stopped my snoring everything is better by just doing this little thing before going to sleep.
Brilliant ❤
Wow just found out about you today from your time on Joe Rogan I love what your talking about and am now diving into your videos and for sure going to get your Breath audiobook! Also great videos man!
Just saw you on Rogan. Very cool. I e been practicing Wim Hof’s method for four years and am now starting taping at night and slow nasal breathing during the day.
I love the amount of things that are right under our noses that we don't know about that have a major impact on our health. Pun intended. I feel like the more we self-asses our health by learning how our bodies and minds work, the more we can naturally return to homeostasis because we are making healthier choices. A healthy us also means we will be happier and we will also be able to help others.
I have noticed that the more we learn how to use this human mechanism, we will naturally be able to diagnose our loved ones/anyone with whatever they are going through. There are multiple reasons for everything usually, but one thing I have learned it's the smallest things that makes the biggest change. Starting with breathing.
Wow! I think this will change my life! Many thanks to Mr. Nestor.
Hello to both of you. Great interview. Thank you.
I have some thoughts I would like to add.
A diaphragm is a type of structure, a sheet attached to a fame. There are more than 18 diaphragms in the head, sheets of muscle and connective tissue attached to a mostly boney frame. One of the many wondrous capacities of diaphragms is the capacity to change the pressure gradient, like a sail, a parachute, a kite. This capacity of our thoracic diaphragm is what makes inhalation happen. The diaphragms in the head are auxiliary pumps in the hydraulic system that is you. Mouth breathing puts a hole in your hydraulic system causing congestion of the the extracellular fluid, the lymph. Anything congested with lymph will be 1)stiff and thick (like a plant stem is stiff when full of fluid) 2)it will probably be painful or at least tender and 3)it will always lack the vitality that it could have if it were not congested. So, it is very important to clear congestion from the tissues. The thing that clears extracellular congestion from the tissues is the orchestra of diaphragms found stabilizing every major joint complex and autonomic hub in the body. This orchestra is conducted by the thoracic diaphragm. When a complete yogic breath originates with the muscle fibers of the diaphragm attached to the front of the spine, it ripples through the diaphragm in a wave like fashion. In doing so, it grabs the grastroesophageal junction with the lower esophageal sphincter and pulls it downward. This is the pulling sensation that you feel at the front of your throat and under your chin. The mouth, the pharynx, the esophagus and the stomach are all one tube. So a good inhalation with the mouth closed and the tongue suction sealed to the roof of the mouth will cause a flux in the floor of the mouth that changes the pressure gradient in the center of the head, the seat of autonomic control. It brings breath to the center of the head. Who would not benefit from better fluid motion in the center of the head.
The floor of the mouth is the most important diaphragm in the head. It is the one that triggers all of the others to come on line and participate in moving air and fluid in the head. When the mouth is left open, the the breath does not effectively reach the head. Extracellular fluid becomes congestion. The airways become narrow with swollen and stiff respiratory epithelium. Respiratory epithelium is equipped with cilia, microscopic hairlike projections that beat in a wave like fashion, sweeping secretions to the pharynx. Stiffened cilia do not do a good job sweeping secretions and the mouth breather develops nasal congestion.
I am an osteopathic physician. I do a lot of manual medicine inside peoples' mouths. I have found that most people, even seemingly healthy ones have moderate to severe congestion of their mucosa as evidence by stiffness and thickening of the tissues. Sometimes these tissue texture changes feel like chia seeds or even pea sized lumps under the mucosa. Sometimes like grains of sand, sometime a whole patch of tissue will be found to be hardened with congestion. These areas are almost invariably exquisitely tender to palpation. This is most pronounce under the tongue, the floor of the mouth. As the floor of the mouth becomes increasing thickened and stiff with chronic congestion, it is further obstructed in performing its job of bringing breath to the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. Simultaneously it distorts the alignment of the temporalmandibular joint.
Moreover, chronic lymphatic congestion results in an extracellular environment with a high concentration of metabolic waste product. If the high concentration of waste accumulates inside of the cell, it will have a deleterious effect on the forward motion of your biochemistry. This results in slower metabolism, slower cell repair...
There is more to this story but, my dog is demanding a walk right now.
Wondering if you came back from the dog walk, interested in rest of your story :-))
Anjani T, how can i reach you to learn more?
@@OneTwoKa4 Me too
Please continue.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write all that! Would love to hear more, too.
Hello! James, thank you for your fantastic book! I have shared it with anyone who will listen! I wanted to mention that since I've started moth taping and practicing 5.5 breaths in/out, my blood pressure has come down to a health level AND have been able to come off of 1 of my BP meds. Just thrilled!
Amaaaaazing ❤
Dr Burhenne is 61 years old :O
He looks to be in his early forties to me !
I got the tape idea from Patrick McKeown's O2 Advantage about a year ago. I used too much tape until reading Breathe. I get better results with the smaller piece of tape. Taping has led to improved sleep and less dry mouth.
Thank you for the great video/interview, and all the info! I've known mouth breathing is bad for teeth and general health, but I had no idea how bad! I've been having throat issues for a couple years now (sore throat...) but the other night when I awoke with a horribly dry mouth and throat from mouth breathing I finally started googling--and found the CNN article that links to this video. Halleluiah!
Last night was the first time I tried mouth-taping... and:
• This morning I awoke refreshed for the first time in a long time. There was no urge to stay in bed and sleep in. I did not awake exhausted. Amazing.
• It’s much more comfortable to breathe through my mouth (today) I think because my nose does not feel so dry. Isn’t that weird?! My nose today doesn’t feel so dry that it’s uncomfortable to breathe through it.
• I did awake with a sore throat, but I have the feeling this will take some time to heal my throat. But maybe not a long time: My throat is looking so much better than it did yesterday, less red and inflamed.
• During the morning the soreness subsided quickly.
• I was skeptical of the promotion of this technique as “training the lips/jaw/mouth to stay” but today I feel that is exactly what’s happening. During the day, it feels comfortable to keep my mouth closed… 😂
• The tape, and the whole experience, was comfortable, which was a big surprise. It felt like my mouth just had support. It was nice. I’ve been sleeping on my back and wondering how on earth anyone could keep their mouth closed during the night… It was a great sleep.
I’m excited to see how this progresses.
Thank you for your feedback ❤
Loved the book, I am now taping every night, I’m also using one off the spring tapes on my nose, my breathing is feeling so much easier..... thank you
My head just exploded, watching this. Thank you.
amazing info! xxx
This is all so fascinating. Just started your book this morning James, thanks for bringing education to this little known topic. I have a deviated septum I've been struggling with for a while, scheduled for Septoplasty Nov 1st. I've already been experimenting with tape the past week and am noticing a difference (Thank the Hostage tape ads for bringing awareness). It's the craziest thing, when I sleep with my mouth open, I get congested GUARANTEED. Every single morning without fail and it's bad. When I've been taping mouth shut, I'm not waking up congested any longer. I'm very excited for the future and hoping I can finally remedy my struggles once and for all. The thing I am noticing is that while the excess mucus in the morning is gone, my turbinates still seem a bit swollen. They normally chill out once I get hydrated and a bit of exercise in (assuming the change in blood pressure is what causes the actual relief). I'm hoping they get used to this new change with time.
Here is my timeline through hell and my plan for a hopeful recovery.
- Had a root canal 5 years ago (you'll see why I mention this below)
-Been struggling with major nose issues for about 5 years. I always thought it was pet allergies so I never did anything about it, figured it was normal and the sacrifice for having a house full of cats/dogs.
-Got to the point my nose was getting so raw inside that the hole kept healing smaller and smaller shut! It was crazy. With a flashlight, I could see the hole on left was tiny compared to right hole.
- Went to ENT for first time ever, had no idea what an ENT even was. He told me my left nostril was blocked about 70% from a deviated septum. Had no idea I even had a deviated septum.
- Here is the real kicker though. He discovered an abscess above the root canal from 5 years ago. He swears that this extra space is causing me to continually get sinus infections which is what is causing all the excess mucus.
- We are doing an Endoscopic Sinus surgery with the Septoplasty all in one swoop. I'm nervous, never had surgery before. Wish me luck here!
- I will be getting tooth fixed as well asap (no pain or anything but he says the scan he performed shows a clear abbess up between sinus cavity at my molar)
- I plan to start mouth taping regularly and also exercising on a better schedule.
- The one thing I am getting caught up on, the ENT is also saying I should do turbinate reduction, but I've read a lot of poor stuff about this online. I think I am going to skip this part and see if what I've learned is going to fix me.
-Lastly I am also reading "How not to die" by Michael Greger which is about food. I have had the worst of the standard American diet my entire life, I plan to also change this.
Here's to health, I'm so sick of this brain fog and depression which I'm starting to think is all correlated with my above experiences.
Hopefully anyone else out there struggling to breath can find some damn relief once and for all.
Hey Jesse, today is November 2nd. How did the surgery go?! I am looking forward to good news. Can I connect with you somehow? I also have a deviated septum, I mentioned taping to my doctor and she immediately dismissed it and it bummed me out.
The more I read into this and do research the more I’m convinced that fixing my breathing at night is more important than ever before.
Curious to track your journey.
@@katsuru So far so good! They knocked me out and got to work yesterday. Surgery went really well according to the Dr. I can't really see anything up there yet when I take off the packing it's just a bloody mess. Trying to keep it clean but it'll probably be a week or so before I can really get up in there and clean it all out as I don't want to mess with the stitches too bad at this point. I've still been mouth taping at least 80% of my nights (prior to the surgery) and plan to continue doing this although the crazy thing is the more I do it, the less I need to it seems, almost seems like my body is naturally starting to learn how to sleep with mouth closed. I'm optimistic about the future although I couldn't say with certainty if this will fix everything or not. They told me I had like 70% blockage on left nostril so I'd like to think it's not possible to get any worse post surgery just better. So far pain is very managable I would put it at like maybe a 3 out of 10. Nose is very delicate but if you just keep it clean with fresh packing snug up against it, you almost don't even notice it - I can eat normal foods and am up on my feet like nothing. I could probably even return to work this week if I wanted surpringly although I'm going to take it easy a week. Are you able to message me on UA-cam? You can find me on Facebook too if you have any questions not sure how you'd like to connect but by all means let me know how I can help.
I have been tapping for a couple of years it works !! I now tape while riding my bike and kayaking it has helped my asthma
I tried this last night after watching you on the joe rogan experience. Today my smell was a lot stronger. But mostly what i smelled was body odor from other people so i don't really know if i should be happy about that.
My fitness tracker did say that i recovered better last night than i did the rest of the week, but that doesn't have to be because of the mouth taping as there are many factors that could have caused that.
I also noticed that i could breathe easier trough my nose during the daytime because i had less mucus.
Either way I'm going to keep doing this for a while to see if i will feel better in the long run.
I heard you on Dave Asprey's podcast, and as soon as you mentioned Wim Hof I decided to look a little deeper in to his method. I started doing WM method about 2 weeks ago, and its amazing the turn my life has taken. Now, I am going to incorporate the mouth taping into that. Thanks so, so much.
What wim hoof did you do?
Fantastic ❤
❤❤❤
I tried this the first time last night. I woke up with an open mouth. I'm a shallow mouth breather so this is going to take some practice. I just wonder how I'm supposed to be reminded to keep my mouth closed when I'm unconscious. I'll have to get the book and enlighten myself. I don't know how long the tape stayed on, but I feel like I had a pretty decent sleep, dare I say, refreshed even which is extremely rare.
With that method I still breathe through the mouth. I can do that during the day and it serves as a reminder, BUT in the night I certainly would breathe through that.
Great explanation! I am a sleep apena patient was getting great results for the first three months of use but I have reverted by to my condition before CPAP therapy. I know I am breathing through my mouth. I try this to night and will report back. Thank you so much!
How did it work?
@@psykickg I used the tape for a while. I had unknowingly took off the CPAP mask a few times in the night when I taped. Not a good thing for CPAP / sleep apena patient. I think the tape use trained me after a while. I get excellent results from my CPAP therapy now.
I'm curious what your results have been .
@@dennisneal5817 tape for real not this mini tape crap if you are using nasal cpap. If u are using full mask you find need to tape.
Am totally miserable as I just can’t sleep properly, I am 51 and have been like this for years, over 20! I was diagnosed with TMJ at age 25, no one looked at my breathing. I have a bite guard but it always ended up in my bed in the morning! I never looked at mouth breathing, I mouth breathe all the time, day and night, mainly at night as when I lie down on my side as I can only ever breathe through one side of my nose if I sleep on my side. I often wake up with very dry throat, head, neck and jaw pain. Am prepared to do anything to sort this, taping, head strap whatever it takes, how can I breathe better through my nose as this basically seems to be the starting point. Am in 🇬🇧
Did the mouth taping help your TMJ or sleep?
I use a waterproof Band-Aid and just poke a hole in it. In the morning I wash my face and it comes right off. My jaw is fat too aggressive at night and normal tape just comes off within 10min.
I have seen amazing benefits, and have have noticed that I am breathing more through my nose during the day now too. I couldn’t be happier. More energy and just feel better rested.
OK. I'm going to try this tonight. Wish me luck.
How was it?
Is this a good idea if you have a deviated septum on one side? Appreciate your work. Cheers.
I cut off one end of a 3 inch long fabric or plastic bandaid -about 1 inch by 3/4 inch and place it in the middle area my lips.
I like Nestor’s method of gentle removal by back and forth tongue motion. I apply lip balm after removal to soothe any lip irritation.
Works very well.
I'd love to have a discussion with these two guys and Dr Stasha Gominak. I'm learning a lot about the importance of sleep.
I noticed that my HRV dropped while mouth taping. Sleep scores are a tad better. Also, using the HRV4training app in the morning, I noticed that I get higher scores breathing through my mouth than nose. All very odd. I do feel much calmer and meditative nose breathing and zone 2 cycling.
I’ve been mouth taping for over 5 years. I noticed that my jaw drops, I used to have TMJ, so that tapes helps to keep it close. I have noticed that my jaw doesn’t drop during awake. Anyway I will continue to mouth tape.
I breathe fine, but recently, when I roll over on my back as I sleep, my mouth has started to come open. I wake up and my mouth is so dry! I'm going to try the tape.
love the video, but i'm having trouble getting the tape off in the morning. i agree the tape comes off easy when it is 1st applied...but, in the morning, a couple hours later, the tape will not come off, unless i want to remove a layer of skin. i've tried to roll it off (like you show). and it still wants to take layers of lip skin off. the only way i can get it off is to put my lips in water for a minute or so. normally not an issue.
last night i woke up and cpap mask slipped and i was having issues breathing. took mask off... needed air bad. now the tape won't come off.
how do i tape different, or how can i get the tape off easily and quickly?
Hey just want to say about the 18 minute mark you guys say there is no way to check out your own sleep. Have you considered a infrared camera that can you can put on yourself to watch yourself sleep. That way you can tell if you snore or what else is going on at night. I have a camera that will do this with an SD card that will capture the whole night. Just wondering as I just figure that's a way to watch yourself if that doesn't sound too creepy. lol
Could mouth breathing, over a lifetime of 80 years, be a factor in developing spasmodic dysphonia. My husband has this disorder--to me it makes perhaps some sense that the dehydration which can occur in the wind pipe, etc. could easily dry out the vocal cords and perhaps cause this disfunction. It would be greatly appreciated if you could give me some information in this regard. Thanks so much.
Will nose breathing cure swollen turbinates in the nose??
What kind of tape did you use in the video?
Dr. Burhemne got interupted just as he was about to recommmend what apps to use to diagnose sleep. Can you please circle back to that?
Thanks for very informative interview!
I'm not sure what app they recommend but there are a lot of highly rated apps out there. It's worth trying one of them. 😊
I been mouth taping for about a year but I'm not used to it yet however maybe I'm not doing it correct the tape falls off many times. At first I thought to myself how will I breath w my nose as I have stuffy nose a lot of the time? I found out that I'm able to bc nostrils dilate when your completely relax and asleep. I really like mouth taping big time I'm using cross cross taping doing it better the longer I do it. Prayer and faith in JC helps a lot too!!
Trying this tonight for first time. I feel like I've been in a fog for a loooong time. Wake up with dry mouth and headaches every morning. Really hoping this has a positive impact
How'd it go?
And?
How about when you have a cold and your nose is blocked?
Is this safe if you have polyps?
I have a mouth tori in upper mouth would that contribute to storing.
Wow! It's Jeffrey, I'm going to try this
So I have a question which I can’t really tell if it was answered or not. Do you mouth tape to train your mouth to close? Or do you do it to keep your mouth closed? Like, “training” implies to me that you will eventually be able to sleep with your mouth closed without using tape. But it seems like everyone who starts it never stops it. So then it wouldn’t be training, it would just be manually holding it closed for you. So I guess my question would be can you ever stop doing it and still continue to nose breath? Or is it a method that only works as long as you keep doing it?
Same question I had 😅
I think I may need to keep doing it forever, but by training it shut at night, the mouth and tongue are much more likely to stay closed during the day, and promote nose breathing in the day too.
I do like that I feel like I wake up with more energy when I mouth tape but for some reason I’ve been waking up after 5 hours instead of a full 8 hours. So I wake up a bit tired
I breath through my mouth and I got used to it in one night. It was quite easy.
I use the app on my phone and it was a life changer
What app?
I have slight congestión and afraid I will suffocate, am I being dramatic?
for some reason ive had a blocked nose on one side, almost constantly, for aobut a year and a half now, which saline spray didnt fix. i also constantly woke up with a dry mouth. I have no idea why it started but it's so frustrating, and a few months ago i discovered i was sleeping with my mouth open and i catch myself doing it almost every night. idk if my blocked nose started bc of this or vice versa, but im gonna try mouth taping now.
did you ever find out what was causing this for you? I have the same problem. how was your experience with taping your mouth?
Read the book, it helps to explain why your nose is blocked on one side.
Also don't use those sprays. Only use a neti pot.
Further training different breathing techniques will help. They're part of yoga breathing practices
I have sleep apnea and I have had two tests at home and my oxygen goes very low so now I have a cpap machine the full mask suffocated me and the nose pillow will move at night and now the doctor wants to give me ambien I said no, i wear a chin strap but it doesn't keep my mouth shut found this video and thank you I will try the tape. Hope it will help me.
Soft cervical collar or neck strap works too
Does this help with Oxygen dropping at night while you sleep? I got on Oxygen instead of a CPAP because my o2 was dropping as low as 75 (but i had pneumonia n Didn't know it).. now.. it drops less with oxygen (down to about 86-89% o2) 1-3 times a night. That's a lot better than 15-20 times a night. Im wondering about taping n Still using Oxygen first night or so and then trying a night without it. I can track it with my o2 Ring i wear to bed. Any Suggestions? Im 61... need to lose some weight n Need energy. o2 has Really helped a lot with The Brain fog n Exhaustion i suffered from for 20 yrs . Thanks!
Thank you! I've started mouth taping and now my girlfriend can get some sleep at night.
Any tips on skincare? I've torn skin on my upper lip and the sides of my mouth after removing the tape, even though I go slowly. Any help would be appreciated!
I have an overbite and find that it is often hard, especially at night, to keep my mouth closed. I wish I had worn braces as a child! I will try the tape and see if it helps.
Same problem with overbite not addressed as a child. I am now 66 yrs old and mouth breathed all my like with dry mouth and pasty taste in the mornings. Did you try it and how did taping work for you. I tried a mouth appliance but because of my overbite it made my teeth and jaws hurt….
@@2007vwbeetle I did not try it because I have pulmonary infiltrates in my lungs, and I heard that it may not be the best thing to do. Thought about a mouth guard but would probably get it at the dentist so it is made to fit correctly. Still need to do my research. Good luck!
What about ppl with asthma?
I sleep so much better after I started taping at night.
Silly question but can I also wear tape during the day?
Will a chin strap would just as well or are there differences between taping and using a strap?
Chin straps help but will not prevent the lips opening. Opened lips with CPAP will defeat the purpose of the CPAP. Tape will help keep the seal.
@@madonnaagar6582 Thank you!
With all this nose breathing.... Should we try to about yawning? Why does the body do this
I jist go mas wuth the surgical tape. Oh, so i dont nesd to do that i now see. I rgunk i do need a hermetic seak as my mputh will keep opeming
i use blue frog tape
How about an ozone video, browns gas, or chlorine dioxide?
Inquiring minds need to know.
What is the difference between mouth taping and "slings" that keep your mouth shut at night?
Chin straps will not prevent the lips opening. Tape will.
My main issue is I canot breathe sufficiently through my nose when i lay down. I tried nasal dilators but I read they are not good for the nasal cartilage.
Xhance nasal spray
The full taping is for cpap machines. So you don't get blow out. Wee piece of tape isn't doing jack. 04:30 you are getting this wrong. Two different purposes.
I've been sleep taping for months. But when I wake up I consistently find the tape stuck to my finger. I assume when I’m sleeping I experience insufficient oxygen so I subconsciously rip it off without realizing it thus I continue mouth breathing. Any tips to combat this?
Following.
Nestor says to use vertical tape. In mid lip, so either side of mouth open. Tape is to remind jaw to stay closed at night.
You should ask your doctor. If you're not getting enough oxygen through your nose, that's a bigger issue that needs to be addressed
"Charlie Chaplin mustache" uh huh, lol
Anyone tape and have CPAP at the same time? Cause of taping I do not need CPAP anymore. Is it wise and safe?
Yes I have cpap I use a nasal mask with my resmed 10 and somnifix mouth tape sleep like a baby all nite . No more full face face and AHI numbers per are are below 5. Good luck mouth tape is awesome .
What are the chances of choking on that piece of tape if it comes loose while you are sleeping?
I've probably used the tape a couple of hundred nights and haven't had that happen. I would think the odds of coming off both lips are very small.I use 3M Nexcare flexible clear tape
That's my concern too, and I'm surprised I had to read this far down the comment thread before I found your question.
hi, iv been taping for 3 weeks now and there have been some great benefits, but iv been waking with clenching and very sore teeth.... am i doing something wrong? any advice?
Anybody waking up sweaty after sleeping with mouth taped. I've been sleeping well through the night as a new mouth taper but 2 nights in a row I woke up very sweaty despite the room being very cold. No idea why this is happening. Anyone else had this happen to them?
Before I knew I had sleep apnea, that was one of my symptoms. My body was basically stressing out due to lack of oxygen. I would wake up at least once a night all diaphoretic. Since using bipap machine, I never had it again.
Do u think it can cause sarcodois or any lung issue? I am 50 ur old and always sleep with mouth open .I am recently been told I have fluid in my lungs
👍👍❤️❤️👍👍
why does the tape come off on some? it was mentioned at the beginning but not addressed later
From the Buteyko Discovery point of view the tape will come off on some people due to them generally breathing too much. Moving from mouth breathing to nose breathing means you will be "breathing less" because of the smaller space in the nostrils compared to the mouth. It took me 3 weeks to be able to keep the tape on all night, until my body readjusted to a lower level of breathing and created a new "normal" higher level of tolerance of Carbon Dioxide. A new "normal" higher level of tolerance of Carbon Dioxide means you will automatically generally be "breath less". Mouth tapping is a "Breathe Reducing Factor"!
TheBreathingMan thanks, devoured James Nestor’s book a couple weeks ago. I can’t believe I’ve gone a lifetime without breathing right ☺️🤐
I make sure my lips are clean and dry before taping which seems to help.
Why does it matter if our facial shapes have changed making it harder for us to breathe, if James is also making the assertion that most people breathe TOO MUCH?
Because mouth breathing as well as shallow/quick breathing results in an innificient use of our respiratory system. It's like having a quick heartbeat all the time(still getting the blood through the body but stressing out the system more than it needs to). With slower deeper breathing your actually getting more out of your breathing while doing less breathing at the same time. This is my best understanding anyways.
Can you tape your mouth shut while you wear your sleep apnea mask?
Have you tried any Ayurvedic oral practices like tongue scrapping? Oil pulling? Gargling with sesame seed oil? All this restores the microbiome of the mouth!
What's a good source for this information? Thanks
Anybody know which size for the 3M tape he mentions?
3m micropore is the roll. Or u can use cover roll stretch tape, what lank lefty - registered polysomnographic sleep tech recommends. The other mention was somnifix. I like dryft better but all will work you can also use a soft, loose cervical collar.
The other option is called hostage tape. It's precut kinseotape for the mouth.
@@screamtoasigh9984 wow thank you for the very detailed reply
Does using a CPAP with a nasal attachment, eliminate the need for this?
It didn't for me. I noticed open mouth when I would awaken wearing the CPAP.. Tape helped with dry mouth and improved sleep.
I used nasal CPAP for years with no issue. Age caused muscles to relax more and I started to experience dry mouth. My lips started opening at night. Now I use both tape and CPAP.
This video isn't getting enough views.
Isn't anyone afraid that we'd accidentally swallow the tape?
Kinda
Don't some people have a narrow or long face simply because of their genes and not because of faulty breathing techniques?
You look so rested ,I cant sleep at all ,so terrible hff ave moderate sleep apnea and cant use the nb machine nor the terrible mouthpiece
I can't afford 3m micropore right now, is there a cheap alternative to that?
Isn't there a danger of breathing in / inhaling the tape during sleep?
2 nights i taped my mouth during the sleep and my sleep got worse, high HR around 65 and worse sleep quality, less deep sleep, more awake time, why did this happen?
Why not duct tape?
I'm picturing a piece of tape sweating off during sleep, slipping into an open mouth and being inhaled...
Intrigued… but why were humans designed with such an inherent flaw? Or is this an issue that only plagues a minority?
From what James Nestor has said, our problems stem from our mouths getting smaller over time. It apparently started around 400 years ago with the introduction of industrialized processed foods and lack of chewing. It caused our mouths to shrink over time. That is why so much of the population have crooked teeth.
Check out some of James Nestors other videos and interviews. He explains it in detail in many of them.
A UA-cam search for “high intensity health James Nestor” should bring up a long video that should explain it in detail.
Here is a link for a brief description.

my sleep doctor does the duck tape and says it is much better and comes off easier in the morning. i have a hard time getting the surgical tape off in the morning and am afraid duck tape will never come off. did you try surgical tape? which came off easier?
His demonstration of taping looks dangerous to me. I think I would inhale that small piece of tape
Have you noticed most of these people who do these videos will not answer any questions for hundreds of people that watch them?
