Do you snore, struggle with sleep apnea, or poor-quality sleep? If so, you may benefit from mouth taping at night.
It might sound dangerous, but mouth taping it’s a safe and simple practice anyone can try. The technique encourages nocturnal nasal breathing which, unlike mouth breathing, helps to maintain healthy levels of CO2 in your body, improve sleep quality, and reduce disordered breathing.
In this video we’ll take a deeper look at why nasal breathing is so much better than mouth breathing (especially at night), how mouth taping works, and techniques to practice it safely. Let’s get started!

HOW MOUTH TAPING WORKS
When you breathe through your mouth while asleep, you tend to take in more air than you need. This over-breathing can lead to a reduction in CO2 levels in the body, which can in turn disrupt sleep and cause various health problems. However, while mouth breathing during sleep can sometimes be a sign of serious breathing problems, often it’s a simple issue that can be corrected naturally at home.
Mouth taping was introduced by Ukrainian medical doctor, Konstantin Buteyko, in the 1950s and involves placing a strip of medical tape in front of your lips to encourage nasal breathing. Nasal breathing is the ideal way to breathe – it’s best for your long-term health, your breathing, and your sleep. The key is to practice it correctly or to try an alternative method that you can sleep comfortably with all night. We’ll show you some options in this video.
