Perfect if multiple people in the family want to use it. Good sleep is essential for good health, high energy, and overall well-being. How we breathe while we sleep is crucial, as our bodies heal, repair, and recover during this time.
Sleeping with an open mouth creates an imbalance between oxygen and carbon dioxide and causes hyperventilation, leading to oxygen deficiency and restless sleep. Since it’s hard to monitor your breathing while you sleep, using Sleep Tape™ ensures your mouth stays closed throughout the night, so breathing only happens through your nose.
Benefits of Using Sleep Tape
Taping your mouth at night is a simple yet powerful tool. Common feedback includes waking up more refreshed, sleeping more calmly, not waking up during the night, and needing less sleep.
Avoid Hyperventilation – Sleeping with an open mouth automatically means breathing exceeds the body’s needs. This hyperventilation creates an imbalance between oxygen and carbon dioxide, causing oxygen deficiency.
Keeps Your Mouth Closed – Taping your mouth at night is an easy way to ensure your mouth is closed and breathing happens through your nose. Without significant cost, you make your breathing work for you during sleep instead of against you.
Wake Up Refreshed – Nose breathing is the first step to good breathing habits. Nose breathing while you sleep increases the chances of your body relaxing and getting the rest and recovery it needs.
Provides Deep Sleep – Restless sleep is common among those who breathe through their mouth at night. When we perceive threats and dangers, we automatically open our mouths. It is an inherited reaction connected to our fight/flight/freeze system. To achieve deep sleep, our fight/flight/freeze system needs to go into low gear, which is much easier to achieve when the mouth is closed.

How to Use the Tape?
You might think it sounds barbaric or feel uneasy just at the thought of taping your mouth shut. This is a common reaction when hearing about it for the first time, which is entirely understandable. Our breathing is the foundation of our life, and if breathing is threatened, then our entire life is threatened. You might think, "If I can’t breathe freely through my mouth, I won’t get enough air," and feel the panic creeping in.
The discomfort is usually a mental block, and after trying it for a short time, most people discover it is entirely harmless.
If you feel discomfort, start by taping your mouth during the day, for example, 15 minutes in front of the TV for a few evenings, to get used to the change happening in your body. Once you feel comfortable with the tape and the changed breathing pattern, it will naturally feel right to try the next step of mouth taping at night.
Tape lengthwise or crosswise – Sleep Tape can be applied either lengthwise or crosswise. Some users find that taping lengthwise, from the nose down to the chin, feels less intimidating as it leaves a gap on either side, making it quick to remove the tape if necessary.
Be Persistent
When you wake up, the tape might not stay on. It’s common to remove the tape in your sleep on the first, second, and maybe even third night. The advice is to be persistent and continue taping your mouth.
Tape for at least a week, preferably four weeks before evaluating. Tape a while before bedtime – If you feel discomfort, tape your mouth a quarter of an hour before bedtime for a few evenings to get used to it.
Get your partner to tape too – Even if it doesn’t have the greatest erotic factor, you can always cuddle first and then tape your mouth. Some people choose to wait to tape their mouth until their partner has fallen asleep. But maybe you can get your partner to tape their mouth too?
Tips and Advice
Some general tips when it comes to mouth taping at night.
Improve Breathing During the Day – If your breathing is significantly impaired during the day (through the mouth, fast, shallow, arrhythmic, full of yawns, sighs, coughs, snoring, and other sounds, the upper part of the chest moves, often stuffy nose, etc.), it’s good to work on improving breathing during the day.
The way we breathe during the day is how we breathe at night.
Take It in Steps – You don’t get oxygen deficiency from taping your mouth and only breathing through your nose. On the contrary, nose breathing gives better oxygenation. However, what can happen is that the transition from mouth to nose breathing goes too fast, much like if you’ve never jogged before and go out jogging at full speed – it doesn’t take long before you’re out of breath and forced to stop or slow down significantly.
Therefore, practice keeping your mouth closed as often as possible during the day.
I’m Terrified Just at the Thought of Taping – This is entirely understandable, and if you get very stressed just at the thought of taping your mouth at night, don’t do it.
Instead, start by taping your mouth during the day, for example, a quarter of an hour in front of the TV for a few evenings, to get used to the change happening in your body.
When you feel comfortable with the tape and the changed breathing pattern, it will naturally feel right to try the next step of mouth taping at night.
