Anyone else MOUTH TAPING? Chit is the truth srs

I first read about this is James Nestor's book "Breath" which I read after seeing him on Rogan.

Basically, you use a very lightly adhesive tape to tape over your mouth at night. You can't breathe thru your mouth so your body is forced to breathe thru your nose.

Mouth breathing has many negative health outcomes and many of us are doing it for 8 hours every night. I use a WHOOP strap and my recoveries are averaging ~15% better on nights I mouth tape vs nights I forget.

There's some evidence of additional risk if you have sleep apnea etc so do your research.

Looks like this

Cliffs on Nestor's book:

https://www.artofmanliness.com/artic...shut-at-night/









Cliffs of cliffs: he had his nose sealed shut for a week (forcing mouth breathing) and went from a very light snorer to snoring 4+ hours a night with early signs of sleep apnea. His blood pressure shot up 13 POINTS. Breathe thru your nose brahs.

Like PM said, the book goes into it but there are a lot of reasons that breathing disorders are becoming more common.

His book before this one, "Deep" was about free divers and it's how he started learning about breath work/breathing science. I read both this year and really enjoyed them.

i've been doing this for about the past 2-3 years cause i have a deviated septum and chronic inflammation due to allergies, so at night i'll default to breathing through my mouth. i actually came up with the idea on my own and then started seeing it gain popularity in the last year or so .

anyway sleep quality and overall energies levels are noticeably better. I wake up more easily and don't wake up as tired as i used to. chit is the truth.

anyone want to post any of of the most useful tips from the breath book for reps?

Not for you - but there is research that shows developing children breathing through their nose have better asthetics than mouth breathers.

Deviated septum crew. Surgery improved it significantly but this has helped a ton too.

Summary of the book:
https://fourminutebooks.com/breath-summary/

Basically:
1) don't mouth breathe
2) breathe slowly and deeply
3) Eastern Medicine is far ahead of western medicine in this area so far. Should be studied more, it's not all woo woo b.s.
4) Don't fkn mouth breathe.

I haven't taped in awhile. I breath through my nose now though so haven't felt the need.

Wish I could.

Don't understand it. Breath through my nose all day.

The minute I get horizontal in bed, nose blocks up and I've got to breath through my mouth.

The feeling in my mouth when I wake up is disgust. Wish I knew what was up.

Agree with the poster above me. You're basically forcing your body to open up your nose.

From the article I posted in #4:
Nasal congestion. Many folks breathe through their mouths when their noses are stuffed up due to having allergies or a cold. But here’s the kicker: breathing through your mouth can actually increase nasal congestion, which makes you breathe through your mouth even more. It’s a vicious cycle!

“When the nasal cavity gets congested, airflow decreases and bacteria flourish,” Nestor notes in Breath. “These bacteria replicate and can lead to infections and colds and more congestion. Congestion begets congestion, which gives us no other option but to habitually breathe from the mouth.”

When Nestor had his nose plugged up for 10 days straight, turning him into a strict mouth breather, his sniffer got progressively more stuffed up as the bacteria in his sinuses increased. When the doctor running the experiment pulled the plugs out at the end, he ran an endoscope up Nestor’s nostrils and saw a soupy mess of congestion.

So how do you break the vicious cycle of mouth-breathing-induced nasal congestion so you can breathe through your nose again? Dr. Jayakar V. Nayak — the doctor who plugged Nestor’s nostrils — recommends starting off with a saline nasal spray and a low-dose steroid spray (like Rhinocort) to help open things up. Both can be bought over-the-counter at drug stores.

Once you get your nose decongested, you can start breathing through it again while you sleep.

Been meaning to try this for a while but been too lazy. Thanks for the kick in the ass.
A young bull and an old bull were standing atop a hill looking at a bunch of heifers in a field below.

The young bull says "Let's run down this hill and fuk one of those heifers."

The old bull replies "No. Let's walk down there, and fuk them all."

I've been working on nasal breathing a lot recently and its definitely getting easier. I still am not doing it instinctively yet though

Sleeping is the hardest time for me. I'm not ready for the tape yet
