While this unconventional remedy may sound (and look) odd, mouth taping brands claim that it helps stop snoring by promoting nasal breathing during sleep.
“Breathing in and out of the mouth can cause your airways to become dry and irritated, leading to hypersensitive airways, a dry mouth, sore throat and irritating cough,” explains Patel.
“Mouth taping helps maintain this nasal breathing pattern, potentially leading to better energy levels and improved recovery upon waking.”.
“Nasal obstructions, undiagnosed sleep apnoea, or other respiratory conditions could make mouth taping unsafe.”.
“People who breathe through their mouth and not their nose are more likely to develop sleep disorders, including sleep apnoea.”.
