I read a book called Breath by James Nestor, it’s all about the benefits of nose breathing. Anecdotally this has completely fixed my sleep apnea/ snoring/ energy levels/ etc. Highly recommended!
- EvanKnowles 3y agoWait, people aren't breathing through noses?
- senectus1 3y agoI found that I have to consciously close my mouth and "tell myself" to breath only through my nose. When I do this i sleep better.
- ghusbands 3y agoYou sleep better by consciously breathing through your nose at night? Or during the day?
- LoganDark 3y agoProbably by falling asleep with their mouth closed so that they breathe through their nose for the night.
- senectus1 3y agoyes this
- LoganDark 3y agoI know someone who has to make a "vacuum seal" with their mouth, that is, make some slight suction on the inside so that they won't drool in the night. Is it anything like that?
- senectus1 3y agoum... not consciously no. I think its more just being mindful. Something i feel we could all benefit from doing more of.
- LoganDark 3y ago> I think its more just being mindful. Something i feel we could all benefit from doing more of. Absolutely, I'm always surprised by the lack of this in some people. Like are they not self-aware or concerned at all? Just floating through the world existing? Ignorance is bliss but I sure wouldn't want to live like that myself.
- senectus1 3y agotoo much stimulation. the ways in which we are and can be stimulated are increasingly devisable and persistent. Information or stimulation addiction is a thing...
- LoganDark 3y agoHah, preaching to the choir here, ADHD brain that basically shuts down unless there is a constant supply of new and interesting stimuli. I usually can't even get enough, so I end up sleeping for 13 hours and then not even staying up for 8 afterwards. I literally need "stimulants" in order to even have a 24-hour schedule, lol.
- amanj41 3y agoI'm not sure if it started this way, but I mostly breathe through my mouth at night due to significant congestion in my nasal passage. If I use a nasal rinse or flonase it helps but if I'm not diligent it regresses immediately.
- khazhoux 3y agoGive this a shot for a week or two. Just jam these up there. It will be uncomfortable at first but you get used to it. Really opens you up and takes away a ton of resistance in nasal breathing. https://a.co/d/18eLtdw https://a.co/d/18eLtdw
- tsgagnon 3y agoI had to have my deviated septum surgically corrected back in my late teens before I was capable of breathing consistently through my nose. Even simple things like chewing with my mouth closed were difficult because I couldn't breath well enough with my nose only.
- stuffuru 3y agolots of people with chronic allergic or non-allergic rhinitis aren't able to breathe through their nose.
- dtech 3y agoNope, usually feel like I don't get enough air.
- dizhn 3y agoI thought I'd get a freebie there (like when you lose weight just by cutting soda - which I already don't drink. Another freebie lost), but when I paid attention I am breathing exclusively through my nose and to make matters worse my tongue is in the mewing position. So this is already the best case scenario for my weight, sleep and jawline. Bummer.
- vaylian 3y agoWhat are the best strategies for increasing nose breathing?
- stuffuru 3y agoLook into the EASE procedure by Dr. Kasey Li
- uptownfunk 3y agoHave you tried this? does this work?
- stuffuru 3y agoIt helped me. I no longer wake up feeling congested. The impact on sleep was more subtle. I had some prior complications so I wasn’t able to expand as much as the avg patient.
- sanman811 3y agoI would also suggest looking into the Oxygen Advantage system. Just finished reading the Breathing Cure by Patrick McKeown, makes some interesting claims but mostly found helpful exercises to retrain nasal breathing
- eth0up 3y agoHis book "Deep" remains one of my very favorite books of all books, and I've turned a fair stack of pages. It's a different kind of medicine though; for me, it revived my soul, if there is such a thing.
