Where should we post it??

[@augustin19tube]

it would be interesting to see a blinded experiment what I mean is something like the following. You make the change, wear your measuring device, rate your day AND THEN look at the device's score after you have given the rating already. That way you are not influenced by seeing the rating before you start the day (placebo of feeling good bc it says good and feeling bad bc it says it was bad )

[@amandak.4246]

it might help but this isn't really how to do a blind experiment. in this case, he knows he has the tape on his mouth, and there's no way to hide that. so there's no way to do this blind.

[@Realalexmerino]

I’ve been taping my mouth for almost two years now. Couple of pieces of advice if you’re just starting: 1.) Be patient - it took me about two weeks to really adjust to sleeping with my mouth taped without feeling anxious about it. Also takes time for your nose to adjust. I had a very similar experience where the first couple weeks it felt like I could barely get enough air but now my nose breathing is incredible and I never have those problems. 2.) Use bandaids to keep your mouth closed if you have sensitive skin. I tried scotch tape, 3M medical tape, and all of it still hurt my lips. I use a normal size bandaid and put it across my lips diagonally. It’s just enough to keep my mouth closed and it’s very gentle on your skin. 3.) Read Breath by James Nestor if you’re interested in the actual science behind the benefits of nose breathing.

[@mrKcinima]

When I switched over to solely nose breathing, my noise was stuffed. I really struggled, especially at night when it came to sleeping. What helped me was introducing more moisture via a keeping a cup filled with hot water or using a humidifier in the room particularly on chilli winter nights when the air was drier. Anyhow, good luck with your tests

[@EFTTappingwithHeatherAmbler]

I was hoping you'd try mouth taping. Hooray! Started mouth taping eight years ago. Life changing!

[@JZirn]

I’ve taped my mouth most nights starting this year. It’s great! Use 3M medical tape, cut an inch and then half it. Cover your entire mouth with the two pieces. Low cost and no extra material.

[@JZirn]

Also as I’m watching want to include experience on the nose strips. They can over time stretch out your nose cartilage and causes your nose to collapse without them on. Your nose will open up naturally even if it starts somewhat closed up. And use hot water to remove mouth tape.

[@sdfggdfg5fgdfg]

@@JZirn you can hold your breath for a bit to dilate your airways so you can go to sleep most of the time but when you're sick and have a permanently stuffy nose there's no way around taking the tape off

[@JZirn]

@@sdfggdfg5fgdfgyeah those hopefully rare rough nights where you’re sick are the nights for nose strips.

You just made this Saturday even better. Great video bro

[@arnavsharma8462]

PIgmie idk if you have heard of it but there are smart matress covers that pump some sort of a medium (i forgot if it was air of gel) but basically it keeps your matress cool so you have to internally regulate your core making you lose calories and allow you to have better sleep, along with that it syncs up with your sleep cycle and gradually turns the temperature up so you wake up 'naturally' as the sun would make things warm. It is quite pricey so if you could cover it on your channel it would help people make their choice of buying it

Do you think the placebo effect also is at play here? There have been some studies with sleep trackers that state that you feel bad if the app says you slept bad (even if that data is fake and you slept great) and vice versa

[@jstn_9671]

That 100% for sure comes into play

You should try Bed Jet system for controlling the temperature of your bed. No water, regulating the temperature with air and its quite affordable compared to some water based systems.

[@universallove7741]

I have a deviated septum and very bad seasonal allergies in spring summer and fall , and I’ve done mouth taping at night and at one point trained myself to become comfortable with it and breath more out of my nose vs my mouth… but then allergies came and since I tape my mouth and I have almost no air flow thru my nostrils and the only way to fall asleep is to take the mouth tape off . But when I did successfully mouth tape I did feel more refreshed in the morning and less tired , so it definitely works . Your video is the motivation to get back into it and try taping my mouth again at night even though I’m l pretty stuffy and congested from fall allergies

[@adamventures13]

Two things to help: 1) Sleep with your bed (or at a min your head) elevated since if you're flat more stuff and come up into your throat and nose 2) Wear the tape an hour before bed so you're super relaxed and comfortable when you go to bed. This will help you practice keeping your mouth closed throughout the day outside of eating or talking. Breathing through your nose isn't just for sleeping :)

When you start doing it, taping your mouth make sure you clean your nose and lubricate your nose. Really good that way your nose doesn’t get stuffed up or clogged in the middle of the night or dry.

[@adamfroman7983]

You need one of those Eight Sleep beds. It is a water cooled/heated bed with an app that controls the temperature during the night and makes the bed warm for you to walke up naturally. Also, look up the best temperature to sleep in. I think it is 65 degrees. I have a temperature gauge right by my bed. Then I can immediately turn on the air conditioning if it is too hot.

[@julianromantini5601]

You should look at the data from the nights sleep at the end of the day, that way your mood is not altered by the sleep score.

I bought a cheap decent mattress cooler. Liquid cooled mattress cover, has silicone lines running through it that pumps fan and evaporation cooled water through a pump. Can't live without it now.

i've been doing the taping thing for the past few years because of extensive dental problems from mouth breathing at night. i have pretty bad lifelong asthma and issues with my sinuses (frequent inflammation and so on). horrible air quality in every house i've been in for the past decade. if i sleep without the tape on, my gums swell, i get a sore throat, whole day headache, etc. i've thankfully never suffocated in my sleep, even if my tape is perfectly sealed without any air coming in through my mouth. i'm not gonna recommend it to anyone, but that's my experience.

[@sherylmarshall1444]

I’ve taped my mouth for months now but always leave the sides free for off gassing at first as your body gets used to it. You only need a bit of tape in the middle also for safety incase you nose got blocked. Otherwise it’s really good and helped as I was waking with my mouth open.

[@Mev-c5h]

There is a materac which can give you temperature you want even in exact time of your sleep, you can look closer to it - I heard it makes a lot of difference in quality of sleep.

[@LeJimster]

I did this a few months back for maybe a week and there is a real paranoia about the nose getting blocked up. I kinda remember feeling light headed waking up the next day. I did get over the paranoia but I'm not sure exactly why I stopped the experiment. It would have loved to be able to track my sleep to see if it was making an actual difference.

[@ghostofakari9427]

Just based off what I watched I thought of a few considerations. I noticed when you ran you were in a densely green surrounding. You had a clogged nostril the night you showed this prior to the strip introduction. Wondering if you had a light allergic reaction to something during your run that congested you. Seemed like both times you ran the next morning you were also warmer which could have to do with allergies as well. Do you think that could have been a factor? Sleep and HRV for me has been better when surface skin temps have been -1° cooler. Apparently starting at 69° and not going higher than 73° is the optimal zone. It might be a good place to start. Temperature definitely plays a role that seems apparent. I've also noticed cotton briefs or in the buff makes an additional impact.

[@frankbaraibar9182]

I would probably recommend regular saline solution spray wash to cleanse and moisturize nasal cavity before taping the mouth.

Anyone with a messed up nose tried this yet? I got a curved nasal septum and 90% of the time either one side is fully blocked or both are. So blocked that I'm convinded that on bad days, I'd literally die if somebody blocked my mouth. However I dont want surgery or laser operations done (yet). With nose strips and spray I can breath fine for 5-8 hours usually. But I dont really want to rely on spray all the time, as that's messing up the nose even more. Just with the strips I can breath a bit, but not always well. So I'm quite afraid of suffocating in my sleep, trying this, because most nights I wake up in a puddle of drool, as I mouth breathed again half of the night, due to my nose being absolutely blocked
