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!

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.

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.

@@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.

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.

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.

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.

Is there a certain brand of tape that is recommended? I ask because I have heard that some adhesive bandages are toxic to the skin.

So are we saying that breathing through mouth is not sleep apnea, as sleep apnea would block all beathing weather from mouth/nose? Does this mean that this is more of a disorder and need training oneself to auto breath through nose instead of mouth?

i steam routinely with a pot of water on stove -- so i remove the mouth tape when i steam, it literally drops off in 2 seconds -- no pulling or stress on the softer lip tissue/skin

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

Strange that the main reason to use sleep strip was not mentioned...? If the mouth is closed, snoring won't occur from the tongue falling back in the throat blocking the airway. Huge!!!

Hello TADB :) I have a question and hope you can answer it :) When I start breathing in extrem deeply and letting go for about 5 times and then take a last very deep breath in, hold it and squeeze it to my head, I feel very high and feel very strange in my head and vision. What is this? DMT in my pineal gland or brain cells, dying out? Is it harmless to practice this very short breath work or should I avoid it to save my brain? What do you think? Do you know what's going on here??

@michaeldean5787 3 жыл бұрын

Do you feel tingling in your fingers? It is possibly oxygen deficiency or hypoxia. When you hyperventilate you blow off CO2, and low CO2 raises the pH of the blood and means that oxygen can't leave your blood cells very easily. It feels quite trippy. Wim Hof does something similar. I wouldn't recommend it if you have a low CO2 tolerance or have asthma for example.

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.

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.

oh dear, might be best to start then with trying to keep mouth closed all day, nasal breathing and practicing some breath holds to help adapt you, there is some benefit tho in persisting if its not too bad, it should improve, its most likely your body not use to that much co2, but will adapt
