I started mouth-taping around April, and now I tape my mouth probably 3-4x a week, having successfully trained myself to sleep with my mouth closed. This change in breathing has carried over into the daytime and has helped make mask-wearing for COVID much more comfortable. His assessments are pretty accurate with my own. I highly suggest people give it a try. The first couple nights may suck, and you may not wear it for the entire night, but eventually your nose adapts. I'm breathing better through my nose than ever, and I've had nasal problems my whole life.

[@strahinjamacesic3974]

Hi, thank you for your comment. 1. How does it affect your skin? 2. Doesn't this weaken your muscles? Or does it actually train the mouth to stay closed? 🤔

Ali, I am a long time fan. The dentist in me says: While awake, it is perfectly normal for your teeth to be disengaged (Check out Vertical dimension of rest) yet your lips are supposed to remain competent (closed enough to allow for adequate nasal breathing). If not, the first step is to check with an ENT specialist to rule out Nasopharyngeal anatomical challenges or pathologies. As a patient of sleep disorders: I am glad that are diving into this issue to raise awareness about the quality of breathing during sleep. Totally relatable. Wish you all the best.

this mouth tapping is actually legit, there are some research about mouth breather and how it affect their facial appearance and intelligence in children.

[@SmoothKriminal81]

As someone with mild sleep apnea, and many years of being blocked up, I found using hayfever nasal spray and nasal strips worked to open up your nostrils over time. Add in working out, as you should always breath through your nose, you end up learning to breath through your nose naturally. Sleep has improved over the last 4 years doing this, which I track via my fitbit but can feel the improvement too

[@willywonka7932]

People should try taping their mouths shut during the day when they’re out in public

[@RodGreenshields]

After listening to a couple podcasts/videos with James Nestor a couple years ago, I started my nighttime nose breathing routine using blue painter’s tape. Small vertical strip from a 1” roll works great. Sticky enough that it rarely comes off during the night and has caused no skin issues. The vertical orientation leaves little gaps at edges of the mouth if I need to talk through the tape. Wife thinks I’m bonkers, but it really prevents nighttime dry mouth. Also trying to focus on nose breathing when I exercise. Have used the same taping routine a couple of times for that, but it’s not something I’ve done regularly. Considering trying that again.

[@AshleySkittles24]

Weirdly, I just started listening to the audiobook 'Breath' by James Nestor, which basically explores the whole mouth breathing vs nose breathing debate..

I have my mouthguard adjusted and I am going to follow up with our apnea home test. That will indicate if my apnea is better, but overall I do wake up more refreshed, no bad breath and No morning headaches

I have severe sleep apnea bc my airways through my nose are really small (I’m not overweight or anything essentially.) I got a CPAP last year and it has helped a lot. Now I’m forced to breathe through my nose at night, and it’s epic. Without my CPAP I breathe through my mouth and snore extremely loudly. I wake up with a dry mouth and throat. So yeah, breathing through your nose is way better than breathing through your mouth. It really really helps, not to mention you won’t be a mouth breather lol

Do you think you could get away with just the tape (and no cpap machine)? I have just been diagnosed as severe apnea but after the 6 week trial, my readings were still not great. thanks in advance . best wishes. jen

[@usaman7358]

@@Jenny-Avalon I'm in the same boat. Severe sleep apnea but cannot tolerate the cpap

[@Thisisahandle701]

I tried this two years ago at uni, I walked over to the bathroom to take a piss and forgot I was wearing the tape, was hard to explain to my flatmate when he saw me in just my boxers looking like an absolute psycho.

This will go along very nicely with my severe chronic rhinitis

Ali: "I Slept With My Mouth Taped Shut for 30 Days" Me: I think this is becoming a bit masochistic, Ali 😄🤣

[@Gigusx]

Actually, when you think about it, it's more masochistic to breath through your mouth than forcing yourself to breath through your nose.

[@MarioFabelo]

@@Gigusx Yes, totally agree! Just that the title sounds a bit weird 😂

[@healthfitbarbell9081]

It shows how you take very drastic problem without negativity, if I was in your place I would have filled with profound negativity....guts off for your positive attitude and a ever green smile....giggles....😊😊😊😊

[@MusicGonz]

Thank you Ali, I am on a CPAP machine and I have dry mouth problem. So this seems to be a answer to my dry mouth problem with a CPAP machine.

[@nazifawali9699]

I thought you literally taped your mouth shut with masking tape

[@natureschant6977]

What if your nose suddenly decides to take the night off 🤔

[@austinalves7626]

Did anyone else’s echo device go off when Ali said “Alexa, lights off in the bedroom”? 😂

[@soichi0416]

I think nose breathe is the one of the underrated habit. there are a lot of benefits

[@XxNoV4xAiRxBoRsxX]

You tried something and figured nothing, perhaps it works or it doesn't! i'm glad i watched this

[@komfykoala6083]

I used to be a mouth breather and tried mouth taping in my sleep. But I hated it because I have eczema on my mouth and taping caused me to drool in my sleep which made my skin so irritated. The tape also never stayed on. I got a laser tongue tie release and now I can easily nasal breathe. The surgery wasn't cheap, but it was worth it (more so than mouth taping). I am able to sleep with my mouth closed now thanks to the procedure.

[@srai0711]

This genuinely sounds like suffocation to me, I’ll pass unfortunately

[@ronitmalik]

Weird observation: but you went to sleep with your shorts on and woke up with your track suit on 😂😂😂 Jokes apart: I like this content brother keep it up You inspired me to start my own channel ❤️

[@JerodSCV]

Ali didn’t wake up at night but somehow managed to change his shorts to scrub bottoms???

[@ericredlefsen5554]

1) Get better mouth tape with no hole in the middle, like PAP-MD 2) Use a white noise generator set very loud to enhance deep sleep 3) Keep the room as cool as you can stand it 4) No Kindle or computer or phone use before sleep 4) You should never awaken during the night for any reason, if you do, you're not in deep sleep.

[@TomTomDam]

As someone who breathes through their mouth when sleeping, I've tried taping my mouth shut (running this experiment multiple times). For me, it makes me wake up in the middle of the night a couple of times because my brain defaults to breathing through my mouth - but because my mouth is shut, I'm not getting any oxygen so it makes me wake up so I don't suffocate. Maybe I have not done it for long enough but I can tell my body is just too used to breathing through my mouth. I will probably try it again in the future more consistently but if it goes on for too long I'm just gonna leave it at that. I'd rather have a full nights sleep by mouth-breathing instead of continually interrupted sleep when nose-breathing.

[@baseballer181]

Sounds like you might have sleep apnea. But im no docta

[@wkorn89]

I am expiriencing the same issue, I need to wake up to unblock my nose(buteyko method, hold breath 4 or 5 times), so far I am managing to perform even with 2/3 wake ups at night, but it would be cool to just not wake up... have you found any solution so far?

[@TomTomDam]

@@wkorn89 honestly since then I just stopped trying as I would prefer to get a full night's sleep rather than interrupted sleep. Sorry I couldn't provide any further information.

[@fartloudYT]

Might be because the spiders cant climb into your mouth during sleep.

[@boxersfitness]

Hey Abdal, I noticed that you went to bed with black shorts and when you woke up you wore green shorts. You sure that was the same night's sleep? It's looks edited? ( Not the first days sleep ). Am I correct ? Lol Ashraf

[@xThatBoiChris]

For when I started meditating consistently, since you’re kinda forced to breath through ur nose it made me stop mouth breathing as much

[@SaMa-se1fp]

It is possible that you have a nasal deviation, that means your nose probably have 60% efficiency due to one side being block. That is why you automatically use your mouth to breath. Maybe a septoplasty is what you really need... instead of taping it.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

For anyone sending Rishtas to Ali: Work on your Country Music/Cheesy Pop Playlist 😂

[@kiwiyamabushi]

I’ve actually been doing this for more than 7 years now. I swear by it. Especially for people with an inclination to either snore or breathe with their mouth!

[@usaman7358]

so even after 7 years you still need to tape? Your body doesn't "learn" to breathe through the nose even after 7 years? Serious question. Thanks

[@kiwiyamabushi]

@@usaman7358 yeah, I still need to use tape :( wish I didn't!
