Yeah, the first two nights I woke up decently alert a couple times which I took to be my body telling me that something might be wrong and I should check it out. I never felt a sense of uncomfortableness, it felt almost comfortable for me as if the tape was making me feel more secure, maybe? Similarly I didn't have the worry about not being able to breathe and not know about it. In both those cases, don't feel weird about wearing some around when waking and you can get used to it. The other mindset to have is remember that our bodies are really incredible at things after millions of years of evolution. Nose breathing especially is something we're able to do. That acknowledgement and trust can go a long way mentally.
