Mouth taping for sleep had changed by life immeasurably. No snoring, coughing, dry mouth, or morning fatigue. I feel FANTASTIC when I awaken.

[@holsen8269]

Wake up with no dry mouth, increased clear balanced flow through both nostrils, no morning hay fever, calmer, less chatter more listening because I consciously breathe through my nose during the day. All these changes and benefits within the first weeks. James Nestor is a bloody hero to take the journey he did and then to share it so clearly and compassionately. Thanks mate.

[@GatherYeRosebudsWhileYeMay]

I have been mouth taping for nearly 3 years. I will never go back. I ridiculed it, bashed it and ultimately it changed my life for the better. I will never go back. So grateful I came across this when I did my health was spiralling and this definitely pumped the breaks for me.

[@ComeAlongKay]

I’ve always wondered why people go straight to ridicule and mockery when they don’t know a thing is wrong it just sounds odd at first.

[@ComeAlongKay]

Because a lot of people who haven’t researched it probably or tried it attack it in the comments and also refuse to believe anyone who says it helped. It’s so odd like how does that benefit them or anyone else to just reject it out of hat?

[@diane4488]

For some months I've had a breathing issue, during the day, where I would involuntarily give a very big gasp for air, 6 or so times a day. As I sleep alone, I wondered if it was linked to sleep apnea. Before consulting a doctor, I thought I would read James' book, (recommend by a friend) and I started to tape up my mouth at night. Virtually immediately, the gasping has stopped. I've only been taping for a week but there is no sign of my previous problem! I'm grateful I didn't consult the doc 1st as they are so keen to prescribe drugs, and I'm fairly certain they wouldn't have advised me to tape my mouth closed. I'm very happy I've come across James Nestor. He may have saved my life. 😁 P. S. I'm waking earlier and an less tired too. Amazing!

[@kristineanderson6167]

I’ve been mouth taping for about a year or more. I’ve never slept better, I awake energized and ready! It also trains you to breathe this way 24/7. I’ve only ever used Scotch tape - never had an issue with chapped lips. People freak out when you tell them you tape your mouth shut at night! Lol 😂

My wife, Ani is training to be a Conscious Connected Breathwork Facilitator and is a great fan of your work. She is even one of the founding members of your new membership. I'm learning a lot from what Ani teaches me, and although I help my clients address the metaphysical reasons for snoring and sleep apnea, I also recommend they tape their mouths shut at night, which will help to retrain their breathing habits. Great work Mike!

[@merrykelly]

I’m on Day 5 of mouth taping and I’ve never slept better. Each day I keep thinking it’s the placebo effect, but I wake up truly feeling refreshed! I’m sold. As a mouth breather for 49 years I never thought I would EVER do this. So glad I tried it out.

[@BK-hp6fv]

Doesn't matter if its a placebo or not

I use mouth tape when I sleep. I also use “Breathe Right” strips, which hold my nose open. I love the way it feels to breathe this way at night. Been doing this for around four months.

[@zambrocca]

Just forcing myself to close my mouth and breath trough the nose, changed my life. Zero stress, zero histamine intolerance, and I hope no neurological problem in the long term.

I tried this for the first time last night along with nasal breathing strips. I’m pretty sure I only slept like 6 hours (because my alarm), but I actually woke up feeling rested. Way more than usual. I also worked out at 8am, it’s 1:30pm now and i still feel wide awake and energized. I will definitely continue to do this.

[@quickpstuts412]

Same. Tried it last night and only slept 5 hours. Normally I feel like crap after 5 hours but my breathing was more effective so I guess I slept deeper. Didn't wake up that tired either.

Mouth taping and only breathing thru your nose 24/7/365 even when exercising will change your life and alter your destiny. It cured my sleep disorders and my arthritis. James Nestors book is life altering.

[@rickysnowball1428]

This book is absolutely life changing. Thank you James.

[@Kimmer]

I've been a mouth breather my whole life with very narrow airway passages and high mouth roof. I've also been diagnosed with complex sleep apnea, but haven't found good solutions. I was very skeptical of mouth taping, but I started mouth taping a few months ago, and it is amazing how better I am sleeping and not waking up with a dry mouth or having apnea gasping issues during the night. This has been a game changer for me! Now, you have to be able to breathe thru your nose, and I have always had congestion problems at night ever since I can remember. I use XClear nose spray, which is a very safe product for cleansing the nostrils before bed, and then sometimes I follow that with Azelastine and/or fluticasone nose spray that help with allergies. In emergencies, I will use Afrin for short periods of time (followed by fluticasone nose spray 30 minutes after Afrin to prevent rebound effect). I also use a room air cleaner that I believe has helped. Regardless, now for the first time in my life, I have been able to breathe thru my nose during the night. I'm excited for the future since I'm getting better sleep now.

Tried last night. Awoke almost 2 hours earlier than normal today but surprisingly didn't feel tired. Will definitely try again. Many thanks for the great info!

[@TAKEADEEPBREATH]

Thats interesting, ive seen other people mention this, I think early hours of morning whatever stage of sleep we are in tends to cause some heavy breathing at that point, and if we have air hunger where normally our mouth would open and now cannot, no wonder it wakes us up, seen it with my own eyes with a friend. thats ok so its about practice, exercising with mouth closed more and taping at night and in theory you should start to adjust to the air hunger and your body doesnt need to wake you.

[@rosealgreenwood6893]

It’s because when you mouth tape it allows you to go into rem sleep faster and longer allowing a better sleep (deep sleep which is where your body heals)

Great explanation by James here, also the trick on how to remove it in a gentle way is so effective. Mouth taping is such an easy hack but it works incredibly well.

[@TAKEADEEPBREATH]

Hi Alex, yes totally agree, makes it so easy

[@fooey-mg7br]

I taped like he said and slept great so I did an experiment. I did not tape for 3 days and I did not sleep that well so I went back to taping and again, slept great! So I am a firm believer in this! I just use a postage stamp size like he suggests in the middle of my mouth. That’s it!

[@MrJamesdryable]

I love how people think it's dangerous. If you're sleeping and someone blocks your nose you don't just stay asleep and slowly suffocate.

[@TheGuyAlwaysOnTime]

I‘m a bit more concerned with accidentally swallowing and choking on it xD

[@MrJamesdryable]

@@TheGuyAlwaysOnTime ha, no it seals your lips so your mouth doesn't inhale.

[@TheGuyAlwaysOnTime]

@@MrJamesdryable yeah sure, but I can imagine myself rubbing it lose in my sleep and I've seen enough videos on youtube of people sleeping and eating whatever was near their mouth reflexively. Now that it is in my mouth and no longer blocks my breathing path I can inhale, sucking it farther down my throat where it irritates my throat and I begin to panic and choke in my sleep. Basically I'm afraid of being a a fuck up. Sure sounds unrealistic but I have seen people choke and panic on a fucking hair (they panic and somehow restric their throat by clenching up all the muscles there or I dont't know how). Its not that the thing itself is physically big enough to choke one, its that I fear that it can trigger the body to seize up and constrict the air flow even further. If I am asleep or dreaming then there is no way not to wake up paniced, choking and unable to act quickly and rational (or it seems unlikely to me). Then again I just woke up alive and the thing was still on despite being very small and flimsy.

Best thing ever. Life changing. Everyone should at least try it.

[@repbacchista]

the first time that I've done was in 2006, i was 19 yo and never forget that I saw one brazilian doctor say that they did that for snoring treatament years before in TV. I still remember how i woke up completely alert. It was the best night of sleep that i've had. Since then I've been taping for sleeping and over the years I notice that i got a kind of reflex, whenever my nose is runny or blocked by the chronic alergic sinusitis, usually triggered by dust and dander, as I tape and start to coordenate my breathing one of my nostrils is unblocked in a few minutes and then a I sleep throught the night. I've tried lost of tapes and shapes including band-aids, and the conclusion that I had its the same, a piece of micropore that I take of with my tongue in the morning. The first day I did it was the only day that I've woke up suffocating, I was using a cross of two band-aids, didn't thought much of it and went back to sleep. It's been 15 years then.

[@TAKEADEEPBREATH]

Glad it was helpful!

[@repbacchista]

I've been taping my mouth shut since 2006, and slowly I converged to the method the he described. It has changed the structure of my face. When I started I would have a couple of minutes that I calmly force the air through my nostrils, waiting for about 5, sometimes 10 minutes to be able to breath comfortably. Slowly my respiratory allergies gave away and now I have a crisis only if I get sick or with very nasty exposure. Now I feel my nose cycling through the nostrils each other day as the air flows and it even feels that whenever I tape my mouth some sort of reflex get me in "only nose" mode. Also it controls the snoring a lot, that most of my relatives suffer from.

[@vernaxxx8940]

Been doing this for a week and feeling benefits. I have twigged that what you are trying to do is not to block your mouth, but to stop your jaw from dropping. So the absolute minimum piece of tape is all you need. I'm down to about 1 1/2 inches, may work with even less.

I'm a big fan of James Nestor. After reading "Deep" a few times through, when I saw his new book on the shelf I didn't think twice, just chucked it in my cart. I'm also a competitive and fitness swimmer. Unfortunately, pool swimming and nasal breathing don't get along well. Swimmers are forced to breath through their mouths or deal with snorting pool water into their noses. If you haven't experienced this...you need to swim more. It is uncomfortable/painful. However, between sets, I have been consciously nasal breathing (slowly, with control, as discussed in "Breath"), not allowing myself to pant and mouth breath between my sets. It has made a massive difference. James, if you see this, "Deep" was an amazing read. "Breath" is too. Thank you for bringing attention to such a necessary and overlooked/forgotten part of living.

[@YelaDuck]

didn't know but yes I'm a larger boater and fisherman than swimmer lol.

[@guitpizz]

I use 3M tape the lenght of a regular bandaid and put it diagonally across my lips starting on one side of the nose and I drop it down my chin. If I would really want, I could breath by the corners of my mouth... or cough but I don't need to. it will also cut teeth grinding with a lot of people as long as snoring. I also use a nose breath right for some extra.help with the nose.

@@susanfarmer22 No, you should not tape your mouth if you have sinusitis: Breathing problems Mouth taping can be dangerous for people who have trouble breathing through their nose, such as those with sinusitis, allergies, or a deviated septum. Other health conditions Mouth taping can be dangerous for people with severe heart or lung problems, sleep apnea, or other chronic medical conditions. Substance use You should not tape your mouth if you have consumed alcohol or taken sedatives. If you have trouble breathing through your nose, you should consult an ear, nose, and throat doctor. If you snore regularly or feel tired during the day, you should consult a sleep specialist. If you do decide to try mouth taping, you should use the right tape and make sure it can be easily removed without tension. The goal of mouth taping is to remind your muscles to relax, not to seal your lips shut.

Hi Claire Smith, Always speak to your doctor first. regarding the tape, I suggest James method of just a little bit in the centre of your lips, that way you can still walk and breathe out the mouth, the tape is just ever so slightly helping keep the mouth closed in the evening, and worst case it comes off easy enough.

As a dedicated follow to the Nasal breathing 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?

Not the question you asked, but if I may, I've found black seed oil to be great for allergies and hay fever. A teaspoon morning and night works wonders. Even had one of my cat allergic girlfriends forget she was allergic to my cats, it worked so well. Furthermore, if you really wanted to resolve it, a well conducted juice fast for a number of days would be something I'd consider. Worked wonders at clearing out my nasal passage and I didn't even know it had congestion to begin with. All the best

ACV before each meal ane hr before bed reduces volume of mucus

Oil pullimg going for a long walk. Coconut oil swism around ur mouth i think realigns ur throat muscles cause a few days of that and sleeping improved a lot. Also if want to get heart rate up without stressing joints fast walking with mouth full of oil helps. Makes u a better swimmer as leaen to breath with liquid in ur mouth. Maybe gives u a better speaking or singing voice.

What tape brand do you recommend if any ?

[@jimt7851]

Tensor Sport "Sports" tape I've found to be the best and I've tried loads of others. Walmart sells it, very inexpensive. Best to be clean shaven and bend over one end 1/8th inch for easy removal.

I use masking tape and it works a treat!

I've been mouth taping for a couple of years, but had to stop recently for about four weeks because of covid coughing. I do worry about the toxicity of the glue in tapes. Do you have an opinion or know of any non-toxic tape?

[@chetmyers7041]

3M Micro-pore can be bought on Amazon.

Should you change your intro to a nose breath?

[@TAKEADEEPBREATH]

your the second person to mention this, i do think so, although there are many mouth exercises! but i do think it should be nasal noises (better blow my nose first) ;-)

[@Spiloli]

@@TAKEADEEPBREATH ah yes, right after a long session would make sense.

[@RogerFoxwellHypnotherapy]

Yes I agree. Great videos and your book is brilliant. The breathing sound just doesn't sound right somehow

[@carmenwilliams2145]

I tried it last night. Had wild dreams (which I don't usually have) and woke up feeling tired. Has anyone else had this experience?

[@signedupfordoconly4275]

My mouth drops open because my jaw drops open. Weak tape just rips off. Strong tape simply just pulls my face really hard and my skin stretches really bad and I will get bad wrinkles later in life.

[@hadar_harush]

Hey. I really want to do it, but every time I have the need to yawn and it freaking me out. Am I the only one? What can I do about it?

[@universallove7741]

I mouth tape and still have extreme dry mouth and a thick white coating on my tongue So idk what I’m doing wrong

[@patriciascott4323]

What brand is best? Anyone? Thanks

What if your nose gets plugged up. Sinus issues abound.

[@johnjacobjinglehimerschmid3555]

So when you're in the throes of the flu. How do you breathe if your sinus' are swollen shut.

[@eliaspkay]

What if my nose is clogged everytime Im gonna sleep? Its so hard to breath through my nose

[@Justin-op8gg]

100% mouth taping makes you feel great in the morning but, if your head in not in the right sleep position as described by George Catlin, the lower jaw will stretch your nose down and make you look like a mouth breather anyway.
