Avoid mouth breathing to protect your health
A Stanford experiment showed that just 10 days of exclusive mouth breathing caused extreme fatigue, skyrocketing blood pressure, and the onset of sleep apnea.
Use 3M Micropore tape for effective mouth taping during sleep
The recommended tape for sleeping is 3M Micropore surgical tape for sensitive skin, using only a postage-stamp-sized piece over the lips.
Use mouth tape at night to stop snoring and promote nasal breathing
Using a small piece of light surgical tape over your mouth at night can be a profound health hack to stop snoring and force beneficial nasal breathing.
