Mouth Taping for Sleep
Mouth taping for sleep encourages nasal breathing with porous tape for some open-mouth sleepers. It is not appropriate for sleep apnea, congestion, or unsafe nights.
Mouth taping for sleep uses porous tape to encourage nasal breathing overnight in people who open-mouth breathe and snore lightly. It is not for sleep apnea, congestion, nausea risk, or alcohol-heavy nights.
Try gentle vertical lip tape first and stop if skin irritation or panic appears.
Common questions
-
Is mouth taping safe for everyone?
No—skip it with untreated sleep apnea, severe congestion, reflux vomiting risk, or claustrophobia. Consult a clinician if snoring is loud or you gasp at night.
