Sleep - mouth or nose breathing?

[TheAlliance]

I am a nose breather all day but when I’m sleeping I breath through my mouth.

I’ve read that it is not good for me so I tried to get a chin strap and mouth tape, anyone have experience with that?

However, when I am sleeping and breathing primarily through my nose it’s very loud.. not a typical snore, but like a loud breathing. I’ve tried nasal strips which are incredible as I can feel a lot more air going in but the “snoring” doesn’t stop.

Ps I don’t have sleep apnea nor any issues sleeping and staying asleep.:

I heard prison quickly teaches you not to sleep with an open mouth

I am guessing it is either your weight or sleeping position causing the loud noise. Changing one or both may help.

I breathe through my nose unless it's plugged from cold or allergies.

The only time a human being should be breathing through the mouth is if he’s in a main or co main. Outside of that something’s up.

yeah that ain't good mang

 

[Spam On Rye]

Thought that was something only fat people did? Isn't there a thing that get called sleep apnea that causes that?

Depends on whether i get my fix before going to sleep so my sinuses won't swell my nose shut.

Maybe you need to see an ENT. Even though I’ve been pretty lean my whole life I thought I had sleep apnea because of my incredibly shitty sleep. I saw an ENT and he fixed my deviated septum and reduced my turbinates. It was completely life changing for me. I have way more energy throughout the day and my mental clarity, especially in the afternoons and evenings is noticeably better. I wish I had gotten the procedure done years ago.

I only mouth breathe if I'm sick or it smells bad.

I heard this too so made sure I slept with my mouth open as widely as possible when I was inside.

mouth why would I change the way I normally breathe because I am sleeping

I did, ent said all looks good, no issues in nasal passage. I can run and breath through my nose.. it’s only when I’m sleeping. Maybe I need to go back.

I’m a slim guy, relatively fit.. I sleep great.. just hate the noises from my nose when I shut my mouth. Worse is on an airplane when I’m passing out my mouth opens lol and I wake myself up because it’s just awkward sleeping upright first of all

If I don't drink or get high I'm a noser

But how often is that

I'm going on 20 odd years now, honestly, buy one of these. Bumping up pillows doesn't work even remotely.
I'm not kidding, it changed our lives from having to go into a separate room.

Before I had wondered why calling dudes a mouth breather is a bad thing.

After hearing Huberman a couple years ago, I understand why now.
Got so paranoid/self concious, I even attempted to solely through my nose, while running. lol, no.
I realized, since I rarely breathe through mouth, other than a sigh/or stress breath; was just being dumb.

Is Your Mouth Breathing Causing Your Jaw to Overwork? Dr. Bob Perkins https://bobperkinsdds.com › blog › is-your-mouth-breat...
Changes in Facial StructureOver time, chronic mouth breathing can actually change the shape of your face. Mouth breathers tend to develop longer, narrower faces with a more recessed jawline. This occurs because the lack of tongue support and improper jaw alignment affect facial proportions.

Did not know it was that bad.

Get one of those cpap/sleep apnea masks, imo, i guess.
I dunno; just a blanket statement.
Derek from MPMD wears one. He had to deal from something similar IIRC.

I did not even know something like this exists! Adjustable firmness levels??! That’s wild I would put firm when laying ob my back and then softer when going on my side. We are definitely going to look at this.

We are inbetween mattresses right now due to their warranties. We tried the best Casper they had but it was way too soft/plush but the experience was unreal. Casper wave snow. Now we are on the best Douglas mattress and it’s more than half cheaper, it’s on the medium firmer side but it’s cooling effects are really good.

Thank you
