Started doing this ~6 months ago. Main benefit for me is not waking up with a dry mouth. Even on nights I don't tape, my breathing when asleep has been retrained for the most part and still get the benefits.

I think mouth breathing is a health crisis. Thoughts?

@tldr
If it is, then that probably means it's a symptom of deeper health or lifestyle issues. Bc if forced mouth breathing was a huge opportunity for humankind, we surely would have selected for it across evolution.

I feel like I’m very cognizant of breathing through my nose at all times during the day + my yoga practice. thought about the tape but is there any reason to believe it could be different at night?

Don't know that much about it, but think it's far down the list (but definitely low-hanging fruit). Did we really forget how to breathe after thousands of years? Seems like changes in diet (less tough, hard foods) have a greater effect. Still think we should all nasal breathe more.

Had a very similar thought today, it’s definitely a health crisis. Our health crisis is a bit of an onion though. Alcohol, sugar, poor sleep, dehydrated, lack of exercise, piss pour ingredients, and mouth breathing. Stack those all together you see the befits but excess in one of those can topple the stack
