Today’s trend might sound that way at first, but until I read the full story it didn’t make a whole lot of sense to me either. Taping your mouth shut while sleeping? Why? That sounds crazy..

A new trend however that is beginning to gain popularity and will most likely continue to gain popularity is taping your mouth shut before you go to sleep, in order to make it harder to breathe while you’re sleeping! Okay, only kidding, halfway at least. That’s not the full story.

People are taping their partners mouths shut because they’re tired of them. Tired of hearing them rant and rave, complain and moan! Nope, that’s not it either.

Noses Are For Breathing – Mouths Are For Eating

Snoring is actually caused by breathing through your mouth while sleeping. If the mouth is closed while breathing you’re going to be breathing through your nose, which reduces the loud and annoying noise associated with snoring that your partner makes each night. But people are not only taping their mouths shut with a smaller, more sleek designed tape to reduce snoring, and it actually works.

Breathing through your nose actually..

    • Improves Sleep Quality
    • Reduces Snoring

    • The Nose Acts As a Natural Air Filter

    • Parasympathetic nervous system activation, also known as the relaxation response, which helps sleepers achieve and maintain deep sleep.
    • Increases nitric oxide production which improves immunity by killing bacteria in airborne particles, this also reduces blood pressure by acting as a vasodilator of blood vessels.
    • Optimizes carbon dioxide-oxygen exchange through its slower, regulating breathing cadence.

The trend of nose breathing has started by taping the mouth shut and It seems like it’s hear to stay. The company Somnifix, Click here to see their specialized mouth tape on amazon was even on the popular ABC show ‘shark tank’ pitching for investment for their sleek mouth tape that has a slight air hole on the mouth in case of the need to breathe through the mouth, but still causing the nose to do 80% of the breathing. The heavy lifting.

I have to say I did my research and not only read about this mouth taping experience before writing this article but actually tried the somnifix mouth tape product as well. I can say from firsthand experience that my sleep was deeper and more rejuvenating. I woke up feeling more rested and felt that my sleep was definitely deeper than the nights before without the mouth tape.

This was fun to discover, try and benefit from. I am a strong skeptic of many of these things but after doing the research and trying the mouth tape for myself I can confidently say that it does work and recommend it to others.

Finally, a trend that is healthy and doesn’t make your stomach explode like swallowing tide pods! Maybe humanity is getting smarter after all!

One thing I will add is that if you are a man with a beard it can be a little more challenging to apply mouth tape because if you tape on your beard the beard hair will repel the tape away from your skin which defeats the purpose of the mouth tape at that point. Make sure to pucker up your lips and apply the tape only to the lips and even move your beard hair to the side slightly to ensure the tape is only on your skin. This will ensure that the adhesive will stay stuck to your skin throughout your entire night’s rest.
