Question: how do you know you’re a mouth breather?

I’ve been using mouth tape when I sleep for about a year and it’s a total game changer. Can’t go without it now.

I’ve tried nasal strips but they haven’t stuck for me (pun intended). Might try the Intake bands or one of the nasal dilators though.

Will do man.

I love the specific product recommendations and why you choose the brands you do. Those are super helpful.

Keep up the great content!

Question for you, what's the most affordable long-term investment? I looked at the links you shared. Everything seems to require restocking. I need something like dentures lol, a one time investment.

Any ideas for what I should try first for Nasal Optomization? The magnet one looks really promising ngl. This is the type of biohack where if it works, I'm gonna try to get my whole family on it. Better sleep will help literally everyone.

Very interesting read. I mouthbreathe and snore and reading this, I realized this is why I probably feel tired so often—maybe I'm not lazy but a mouthbreather who doesn't get proper rest!

I have a few problems with mewing or just having good tongue posture. As soon as I do that, pressure builds up in the back of my jaw and my jaw muscles start feeling tight and it just overall feels wrong. Perhaps I have jaw issues I didn't even know I had. My muscles only feel relaxed when my jaw is lowered and forward, which is just not good for posture and breathing. The bad breath was cool to learn about, as well as cavities. Just had a cavity filled last month.

Besdies tongue posture, my nasal passages just don't stay clear enough for me to nose breathe. I try to do it, and sometimes it works, but only when my passages are clear. And most of the time they're not.

I should try to figure this out sooner rather than later, because the effects are compounding over time. I wonder what other cascade effects this is having on my body.

Thanks for writing this.
