How can you improve your sleep?

- You can not have good quality sleep if you're breathing through an open mouth. If you want to improve your sleep, you need to make a conscious effort of breathing through your nose during sleep.
In this video, I will show you tape that we often recommend and just to wear across the lips it's very comfortable. If your nose is congested, do the nose unblocking techniques from the Oxygen Advantage, put them into practice, because the more you breathe through your nose during the day, the more you will be able to breathe through your nose during sleep.
Watch this video to see how can you improve your sleep by just making small subtle changes to it.

Your knowledge could literally change the life of millions of people and I am not exaggerating you can seriously save our planet. More people sleep good more people will get healthier, more healthier people better societies, better societies better future and relationships.
Patrick absolutely changed my life in every single way, energy, health, intelligence etc. I really wouldn't be the man I am today without his knowledge. I can't be any more grateful for finding his message, I haven't been ill once in 2 years of nose breathing and mouth taping. Prior to doing so I had excercise induced asthma, headaches, coughs , brain fog and the list goes on
Awe Patric, your a busy man. Thank god and thank you Patrick 😜
Totally agree ..for me a good night sleep equals happy life
Since I have begun breathing exclusively through my nose, I have felt calmer, more grounded, less anxious. My asthma has improved dramatically, as well as the quality of my sleep, and even my trombone playing, which suffered so much when I got very sick 19 months ago, has finally started to return to a world class level.
Why oh why didn't ANY of my lung doctors suggest nose breathing? What a difference. I thank you for the many changes I have experience following your advice. No apnea, deeper sleep, no waking up in the middle of the night, a total gift from you, Patrick!!!Wish I had watched your videos a long time ago.. But better late than never.\THANK YOU!!!!!!!
My asthma didn't appear since I started your breathing exercises. My dipression also become much better. Thank you 😊
Hi are u keeping on this method ?
Please share video link
What exercises are you doing to help with asthma
Definitely agree. Since I've started mouth taping and learning to breathe through my nose and diaphragm in general, I've been experiencing a huge increase my sleep quality and energy levels during the day.
Mouth taping?
@@barefootedqueen710 Yes, to help keep lips shut
Absolutely. Ive noticed the same benefits. For anyone who is a mouth breather this is an absolute MUST DO.
Thank you so much Patrick, for all your videos. THERE IS NO ONE LIKE YOU. I am listening to all your videos and reading all your posts everywhere wherever you are on Vimeo, on Instagram, On Facebook, on Oxygen advantage. Why? Because everything you talk about helps me. I can't stop being fascinated by how much you know. I have been taping my mouth shut every night because it helps me so much. I Love you so much.
Very interesting material.But the accent is very annoying,as much as I like Irish accents.
Not for lectures....
@@deloredan is it Irish, I though it was Scottish. I like it
@@deloredan your whole existence is annoying ya clown
@@deloredan Well, that's a very rude comment.
@@deloredan I totally love the accent.
I've been doing the tape for about a year. Its definitely helped my sleep, feels deeper when I wake up. It hasn't solved all my sleep issues though. But my snoring hasn't completely gone. But i love it. (i.e. unable to stay asleep, or get more than 5-6hrs)
I was a nasal breather for a year, forgot how to breathe through my nose and my life felt really different. I will start this again and I know it has a massive effect on our life
I had a childhood similar to yours.
In the 80s snoring and poor sleep was referred to as swallowing the tongue.
At 68 years old, I have been following your instructions, tape on my mouth at night and at work with virus mask on. It's teaching me to nose breath after all these years.
Last night, sleeping on my back for the 1st time in a long while, I swallowed my tongue with taped mouth. Snoring with the tape on.
Strange I thought, but I love your instruction.
Thank you so much! This channel has improved my life in so many ways
Short and sharp video with vital info! Thanks so much Patrick!
Thank you Patrick. Never felt so good since i started nose breathing. Ive had nasal polyps for over 30 years, no more, all cleared up. I can smell again.
I want to say thank you for the work you have done. For me it was a game changer. I started last year after a random poscast I hear and it feels great! Thank you for sharing. I wish the best for you. Stay safe.
Another great video Patrick. I'm still getting plenty of sleep thanks to you. I'm doing the exercises all the time, very useful when I'm shopping.
you literally changed my life
I tried it yesterday! I never realized (until your videos) that over the last years, because of high stress, I started breathing more and more, almost all the time, with the mouth . . Yesterday I started my nose breathing sessions and I slept much much better, with immediate effect on me. Thanks!!!
Hi Simo. Yes, if you breathe a volume of air greater than normal to cause a loss of carbon dioixde, you will naturally hold your breath for longer- which is a stressor according to Koxs paper on the WHM.
This is great, all I need now is a time machine to tell my younger self to stop being a mouth breather.
Well said @rickclick8359
Can I borrow the time machine to do the same? 😀
The Nose Clearing technique works like a charm!
Outstanding video. Thanks Patrick!
WOW, SO MUCH HELP, THANK YOU!
Simply excellent!
Thank you
Thank you so much. God bless you.
Mind boggling how life chaging your work is and it relatively unrecognized
Thank you Patrick.
Thanks for this advice 🙏🏻
Thank you, sir, for sharing such vital information. 🙏
What a wonderful service you are doing for the world.
I started doing this a couple months ago and it's really helped my sleep and in turn improved my symptoms a little. It took me a long time of working on my breathing after Covid before I was able to tape my mouth but it's amazing now I can do - such a difference!
Glad we can help. Keep up the practice
I’ve had a bad cough for weeks but since doing your deep breathing exercises I’ve improved.
excellent information!
Thank you, love the videos, please keep them coming. More and more people are becoming aware.
Thank you very much l just started this and l did sleep very well with nose breathing
I have been watching, practicing, and sharing your videos for a while now and although subtle, I am convinced I'm feeling better overall. Going in search of that mouth tape. Thanks.
Did you find the brand of tape???
Thank you💜
Thanks Patrick, makes perfect sense. Can you please touch on whether nasal breathing can alleviate the symptoms of ectopic beats. Thanks heaps.
I like the accent better then Aussie. I'm American. Love your videos and instruction!
Before I discovered Patrick's work I was watching alot of "polyvagal theory" vids...which worked really well as a preparation for "mouth taping " and deep breathing exercises...because the first thing I do at night is to examine what "physiological state" I'm in...you want to be in "ventral vagal"...peaceful state...with slow rhythmic breaths...with a focus on the out breath... just by watching the breath I've noticed its easy to start the internal work of breathing into my diaphragm,belly...slowly and deeply with an equal exhale...being mindful to stay in a relaxed state..ie ventral vagal...and then when I'm there...I put the mouth tape on...ready for a good night of sleep...but if I'm too tired and I just "crash"...I often notice I m actually "mouth breathing" through the tape!!!
Thanks!!!!
took me 2 days with that tape to handle my sleep, but you're right, my sleep is better now! I feel refreshed in the morning. Now while we have that Corona shit going on, I wear an elevation mask all the time. Hahaha.
I almost got first aid tape that is for sensitive skin and frequent removal. I may try that
GREAT VIDEO!!!
great video Patrick , thank you very much
This is excellent.
great video
I have trouble focusing in general. Since incorporating nasal breathing and really in tuned with slow inhalation-exhalation, I’m able to have longer attention span especially during daily activities, watching long tutorials/videos, reading. It came along with anxiety at first, but after long practice, ur parasympathetic mode starts to regulate more in moments of rest and during light activities. I’m easily in control during stress moments.
And yes also sleep gradually improves
Nice 😎
Thank you
I have been mouth taping for about 2 months now. also doing buteyko and oxadv nasal exercises during the day. that said, i still wake up in the middle of the night after about 4-5 hours of sleep and can't get back to sleep. generally my mouth is not dry in morning and my nose is generally clear but still can't make it through a night without waking up and i'm still struggling with daytime tired. other measures i'm trying: sleeping on side, no caffeine after 10am, slightly tipped bed(~4"/10cm head side up), also intermittent fasting (no food after 3pm). bedtime about 10pm. overall i'm very happy with nose breathing, but still chasing additional measures for quality sleep...
Question for Mr McKeown: What can you say about the state of "trance"? Any experience with it? I'm doing some research on this topic for a paper and would love to hear your opinion on it! Thank you!
Changed my life with mouth taping,quality of sleep is amazing,plus the breath holds helps,& belly breathing,hard to explain o folk with out coming across as a freak ,lol!
Is It secure to use in chldren (6 years old)? Since he said on the video It can (eventually) completely stop the breathing process during sleep.
@@Glauberoliveira1409 There's a special tape to use for children, it shouldn't tape their lips shut.
U have to do the nasal breathing in intervals as ur diaphragm muscles tire after around 5 minutes start breathing nasally again and continue the intervals until the end of the run The tolerance and the time breathing nasally will improve dramatically .Other things need to be done if ur trying to sprint
Thanks Patrick for all your videos I heard your name on a Joe Rogan podcast and checked them out. I have tried the mouth taping at night but because I drool the tape becomes loose, what do you suggest. Thank you
Thanks Patrick. I just bought your book and learning a lot from you. I have been using a breathe right nasal strip as well as a CPAP machine. Would you recommend that it's OK for me to use a mouth strip? I read on the mouth strip instructions not to use if you have sleep apnea.
Iam trying nose Breathing
Thanks for your knowledge about all this breathing appreciated 🙏
Thanks for the interest @eileenmcauliffe1148,
Our new OA app will give you much more knowledge if you wish to download it.

I just started taping my mouth shut at night, but alas, I'm still not sleeping properly due to the hot weather ☹☹However, it does feel like the sleep I got was higher quality in some way... I can't wait till the weather cools down so I can really start feeling the benefits.
Hi, really exciting.. though, Im trying to train to breathe through nose especially during sleep. I'm unsure if i may have sleep apnoea.
Though my nose is blocked sometimes, i wonder - is it dangerous to tape the mouth closed, in case my brain stops sending adequate breathing signals, and my nose may have become blocked while asleep, or is it ok to just tape mouth closed and try?
Thanks for the vid!
3m medical tape is good for me !
"A conscious effort to breathe through your nose when you are asleep" :))
Thanks Patrick for your guidance. Have recently started mouth taping - also suggesred by my dentist! And my sleeping benefits have improved dramatically! However, I find myself doing excessive, compulsive yawning in the morning! Why so? What can I do to alleviate this?
You have very good videos that actually work when followed regularly, but before go taping ur mouth shut get checked out for sleep apnoea i nearly choked to death i have serve sleep apnoea .
Hello tnx for the video. Its the first time that i hear this method. How did u find out that u breath from mouth first time?
Im going to try that tonight and Ill tell u what happend.
As a dedicated follow to the OA and someone that regularly tapes their mouth- has anyone else experienced waking mid sleep, feeling anxious and unable to breath properly? I suffer from hay fever at certain times of the year and am constantly blowing my nose, sneezing throughout the day and generally feeling bunged up. It can take me awhile to settle at night, as my nose clears (albeit only on one side) but I eventually I have a good nights sleep. Except on these rare occasions when I wake and struggle to get enough oxygen in through my nose. At these times, it’s really difficult not to remove the tape on my mouth. Instead I usually sit up and read a book until my breathing relaxes and I’m able to fall asleep again. Is this side effect common with people who suffer from restricted nose passages due to hay fever?
Always slays me when I share one of your videos and it displays with a pretty girl with her finger to her nose. You're a good looking guy. Come on now.
This content is rich with insightful and stimulating ideas. Reading a book with similar topics expanded my understanding and personal growth. "Better Sleep Better Life" by Various Authors
I would love to study your online course but retaining information as become an issue for me with ageing.. is your practitioner course very difficult to study... Thanks
Using a incentive inspirometer??
Thank you Patrick.. can you please put a link to purchase the mouth tape ... All the best wishes from New Zealand 🌹❣️
Did you find the brand?
More than than a year ago I was under tension and sick but after I recovered, I'm facing breathing problem or breathless at evening at evening since last one year. Is this exercise going to help me?
Hey Patrick I have had air hunger for years with the inability to get a deep satisfying breath.. lately it’s been worse at night and preventing me from getting sleep, is it better to not focus on my breathing or to just take small breaths and resist the urge, can you please recommend something.
I’ve had both jaws broken and replaced and find I bite my tongue in my sleep and breathe through my mouth
Am going to try the tape.
Look into Mewing as well. It might help with understanding how to keep good oral posture. Search for the channel called "Orthotropics" here on youtube.
Are his books worth reading?
Thank you so very much. God bless you always.
Could you please improve audio quality? And lower background music volume pls :)
hi where can you buy this lipseal mouth tape in europe? could not find it on amazon or anywhere else. Thank you
What if I have chronic sinusitis and have difficulty breathing through my nose? Will nose breathing improve it?

What is the tape called?
I started to do the wind down breathing for 15 mins. Now I keep waking at 2 and can't get back to sleep. Is there a transition period when you start these excercises
Tried nose breathing while cycling but found it near impossible on more demanding sections. Just can't establish any rhythm to the breathing and feel like I'm struggling to get in enough air. Any solutions/ Practice to do?
Where do I purchase the tape - CVS?
Anyone got any tips for night nasal breathing for someone with a beard as I don't think the tape will stick
i was getting stuffy nose, phlegm. I sleep on my back. I tried sleeping on my stomach last nite, didn't get the phlegm or stuffy nose
Sleep on your side instead if you can. Go check some youtube videos on the importance of this. Your brain is much better suited at getting rid of spinal fluid waste materials during the night - which is one of the most important parts of why we sleep
You need to nasal irrigate 2x day. It will stop the phlegm. CBS, Rite Aid, etc... Have the plastic bottles with saline solution packets. Don't get the Nettie pot. It's useless. The bottle allows u to shoot it 🐱 into ur nose which is great. Changed my life. The phlegm was horrible. Good luck. 8)
Is the use of lip tape appropriate for a child of 8 or 9?
I started sleeping with tape on my lips three nights ago, the first night I had incredible sleep, but the 2nd and 3rd nights have not been great at all. Is there an adjustment period, and if so, how long do you estimate?
The last two nights of bad sleep has raised a concern:
1. If a person is using tape on their lips during sleep to promote nasal breathing, but the tape does not prevent 100% air into the mouth, will a person not continue to try breath through the mouth, thus getting less air than normal and therefor causing sleep apnea?
2. Is it not better to use tape that blocks 100% of air, thereby forcing the person to breath completely through their nose, or will a person automatically switch to nasal breathing if there is slight obstruction with the lips?
Thank you!
Mckeown! The wim hofs and the somas and these kinds of breathing excercises, do you mind making a video where you give your thoughts on them? Since its mostly fast breathing then it kinda goes against the LSD - Light-slow-Deep breathing. Thanks alot you are great!
Look for the LondonReal interview with McKeown. Adresses it there.
I've been reading the Oxygen Advantage book and I need help doing the additional exercise of relaxing a tight diaphragm that's in the book. I feel like I haven't been doing it correctly
What's the Song name? Shazam couldn't recognize it I think due to the talking haha.
Patrick, pneumonia is a general term for a lower lung infection. Is there any connection between mouth breathing filling the upper lungs (not inflating the lower lungs) and lower lung infections?
I think mouth breathers are more likely to inhale a larger volume of air. Mouth breathing doesn't offer the first line of defence to the airborne virus. Nose breathing is much better as the first line of defense. Patrick
So why do some of us mouth breathe at night? Is it because we mouth breathe during the day and it's a habit we take into our sleep or do some people only mouth breathe when they're sleeping but nose breathe during the day?
What if you have sleep Apnea and a deviated septum?
Is it safe to tape mouth I am 88 but wake with dry mouth sometimes mouth is burning what can I do not sleeping well so tried in the morning thank you hope you can answer.Love the help I am going to past it ON ======
Hi Colette. I don't think it would be a good idea to tape around mouth at 88 years. But you could practise gentle light breathing for 10 minutes before sleep. You will find this exercise on UA-cam. All the best Patrick
I have a tendecny to yawn quite a bit and that forces my mouth to be open. The tape wouldn't stick to my mouth if this occurs. What to do in that case?
I just force my jaw to stay closed, its hard but you can do it for yawning and send the air through your nose
I've just started to breath through my nose in the day. How long does it take before it feels comfortable? At the moment I still have an urge to get more air in through my mouth even though I can breath 6-8 breaths a minute through my nose without any physical issues??? Any advise welcome.
Relaxation is key.
Hi Patrick,
I am following your technique from last 2 nights of putting tape on my lips to breath thru my nose during sleep hours.
But still I wake up with a dry mouth. My sleep is very little better than before but still I am facing dry mouth problem. Can u please help me out with this?
Me also
I simply trained myself to keep the tongue on the roof of the mouth, with the jaw shut.
Any suggestions on tape or another solution if you have a moustache/goatee? I'm pretty sure the tape won't stick in my case :(
Superglue?
I am 72 years old and I have severe Acid Reflux and take a prescribed medication. I sleep partially sitting up in my recliner. I awake with dry mouth almost every morning. Can I still use the tape? or do I have to sleep lying down to use it?
Hi Regina. If you have dry mouth upon waking that’s a sigh that you don't breathe through the nose during sleep. Wearing the tape every night you will significantly improve your energy levels upon waking. Continue with taping your mouth, it will help. However, wear MyoTape only as it does not cover the mouth. it simply brings the lips together with light elastic tension.
Thank You!!
@@OxygenAdvantage what if you got a beard someone should come up with an answer for this please as there's a gap in the market.
Any suggestions for someone who is allergic to tape ? ( colophony ) What can I do to ensure mouth stays closed at night?
Get hypoallergenic tape.. almost all medical tapes are hypoallergenic.
@@mark5212 I am allergic to colophony so anything that sticks is a problem even hypoallergenic stuff, I tried 4 weeks of sore swollen lips
What is the tape called please and where can I buy it. Many thanks.
I second this
@@LukeMungoI 3rding the question.
Am I supposed to sit up and do nose-unblocking exercises every half hour all night? I'm afraid that if I tape my mouth shut then my nose gets blocked I'll never wake up.
That's sorta a fear I've had too about this, haha
Patrick, how can I stop myself from pulling tape off my lips while I sleep? I wake up all the time without the tape on my mouth in the morning.
Hi Colleen It is normal to remove tape during the first few days. Slow down breathing and create air hunger for 15 minutes before sleep. Continue taping for a week or so. Then less likely to remove it during sleep. Patrick
Paper painters tape works well.
This answers the question I wanted answered. Thank you for your comment
I’ve been trying taping at night, but I don’t make it through the night. I can’t get into deep sleep and I have horrible dreams, waking up quit frequently. I finally take off the tape and fall asleep for the rest of the night. Is this normal? 🤷♂️
It means you have a very low control pause, you should address that first. But imo try to continue mouth taping even if it's frustrating it will help you in the long run.
@@hoshang747 Hi. nose breathe only during the day. Practise gently slowing breathing for 15 minutes pre sleep. If you do not like the feeling of wearing the tape at night or are apprehensive about wearing the tape then try with MyoTape - it surrounds the lips, instead of covering them. Also, you should wear the tape for 20 minutes during the day, so you get used to the feeling of wearing the tape.
