how to sleep with your mouth shut (on purpose)

most people talk too much.
even in their sleep.

if you’re waking up with a dry mouth, sore throat, or sounding like a broken vacuum, you’re probably mouth breathing at night.
bad news: it’s ruining your sleep.
good news: i fix this nightly. with tape.

no, not duct tape. calm down.
real mouth tape. and it works.


why you need to shut your mouth (with tape)

your nose was built for breathing.
when you mouth breathe during sleep, you mess with your oxygen levels, spike cortisol, and stay in light, choppy sleep all night.

that means more snoring, dry mouth, brain fog, and waking up feeling like you fought a ghost.

taping your mouth at night helps:

  • improve deep sleep

  • reduce snoring

  • support nasal breathing + recovery

  • give you actual energy the next day


how to use mouth tape without panicking

  1. start slow: wear it for 30–60 minutes before bed if you’re unsure

  2. use real mouth tape: ours is soft, skin-safe, and designed to stay put

  • you have sleep apnea

  • you panic with your mouth closed

this isn’t a party trick. it’s a sleep upgrade.
