- Traubenfuchs 5y agoDear diary, today hacker news made me tape my mouth shut before sleep. How am I gonna explain this to my partner? If it stops me from snoring and him from kicking me, that‘s a win for both of us though.
- toast0 5y agoI suggest "Hey partner, my weird internet friends told me if I tape my mouth shut while I sleep, it might help with snoring and improve my quality of sleep, so I'm going to try it, let me know if it works" and if your partner is snarky, be prepared with eye rolls for him to say "why only at night?" One of my neighbors recommended thiamine supplements for help with night breathing, and my spouse was happy to have me try something. I'm sure she'd be happy to have me try taping my mouth shut overnight too. I had some success with the thiamine, but the first suppliment pill is a B-complex with lots of stuff (all at pretty high RDA %s) and something in there makes my muscles ache in addition to seeming to help with night breathing and smelling like a vitamine shop. I've now got a liquid I'm supposed to dropper into my mouth, but it tastes and smells like a vitamin shop, which is hard for me to tolerate, and it doesn't seem to work as well (lower dosage and as bottle has been used, the dropper isn't so full). The first couple or times I used it, I noticed when waking up that I was breathing through my nose and it felt easy; that's not normal for me, I can breathe through my nose, but it usually takes some amount of concious effort to do so.
