My partner (who has sleep apnea and a device to stop her sleeping on her back) started lightly taping her mouth shut at night with micropore tape after reading that book. She reckons it helps her sleep significantly better..
- Melatonic 5y agoDoes the micropore tape allow you to still breathe through the mouth if you have to?
- floatinglotus 5y agoThe tape doesn’t block the air, it’s just a strip of tape to help keep your mouth closed. You can still breathe a tiny bit through the sides of your mouth, and if you open your mouth hard enough the tape comes right off. It is indeed helpful for OSA, best used with the oral sleep appliance.
- pviotti 5y agoI recommend using a chin strap instead of tape e.g. https://www.beechfieldsleep.ie/product/cpap-chin-strap/ https://www.beechfieldsleep.ie/product/cpap-chin-strap/
