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.

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.

[@emilialiu2681]

I have been sleeping with mouth tapes for 2 plus years. It seriously transformed my sleep. From snoring, dry mouth & dry throat to much BETTER sleep with no snoring. Slowly my body learns to breath more using my nose instead of my month.

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

You are ahead of the game friend

[@broadcasttttable]

Lucky you! What about us geezers in our 60's and 70's just finding this out. You might have increased your life expectancy 3-5 years. Us? Better late than never I suppose...lol.

For side sleepers, and especially those with a narrow nasal passage, I highly & personally recommend Breathe Right nasal strips, especially if you are going to try this.

[@DutifullyInnerCreation]

I would love to try this but also I don't want to die in such a humiliating way 😂

[@Nico-rn1gv]

Exactly this.

[@RogueCylon]

Doesn’t work like that. It’s quite safe.

[@learnandapply3337]

@@RogueCylon theres a hole he said i think its for emergency situation And if you will not able to breath You will probably wakeup

[@forgetfulstranger]

That's silly, you'll wake up if you start suffocating. Unless you decide to die, idk

@@forgetfulstranger most of the nights i sleep with my mouth taped and one night for unknown reason i vomitted and instantly i waked up and removed the tape. Its the miracle of God in our life. All it requires a free hands and its safe.

Every time I taped my mouth shut for sleep I’d get little pimples on my lips and I woke up with massive headaches.

[@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.

Lol tape his mouth = saliva building blocks

[@thegardencity92]

Thank you for being so honest about this; it is not easy to talk about and it is hard to correct

[@ChrisRoxDuhh]

I wake up and blow my nose daily in the morning. Taping my mouth has lessened the mucus build up and my sleep is also sooo much better

[@Henrik-um9be]

You should read “Breath” by James Nestor. Fantastic book, it talks about everything you said in your video.

[@neomashishi3532]

Im going to read it

[@yfoog]

@@georgegray2712 is evidence the new religion? Just try it it’s pretty self explanatory ... tape mouth more nose breathing... healthier breathing... if it works for you then it works for you

[@UdangLari]

Me looking at the title: what the -

[@bindiya_ganatra]

This is the MOST unique experiment I have ever heard of!! First I thought this video was sarcasm and a click bait....but OMG Ali, you did your research and bought official sleeping mouth tape!! I shouldn't expect anything less. 😋 Ali, you never cease to make me laugh. Thanks so much for sharing this!! I always learn something new from you.

[@ricoroy9246]

not only is mouthbreathing bad for all the listed things at 1:30 but it also is a cause for crooked teeth, and unattractive face shapes

[@ivanstambolov4701]

That seems like a good idea actually. My mouth is extremely dry every morning. Definitely will give it a try.

[@grantwebster3000]

If he didn’t include productivity in the title, it must be a scam.

[@LifeofKairo]

Ali if you feel like your nose is regularly blocked you might wanna try giving up dairy. That was a total game changer for me

[@cheesychester9647]

I’ve been going this for awhile now after i read “Breath” by James Nestor. Life changer for me, sleep apnea runs in the family and I’ve always been a snorer. Hope this will help me out long term

[@RaquRak]

Did it help you with snorking?

[@JayFriedrichs]

I mouth tape every night, now it feels weird to sleep without taping. I definitely have improved my sleep.

[@dilaraozmeric4420]

Me: tons of stuff to do for work and courses to complete. KZbin: hey, watch this guy sleeping with a mouth tape Me: sure!
