What do you think of mouth tape to like force yourself to breathe through your nose while you're sleeping?

I think you're just doing yourself a disservice.

Some people who have open noses and still breathe to their mouth, maybe.

But people who can't breathe through the nose, yeah, you're going to be forcing yourself.

It's going to be extra strain on your body.

Okay. Because one thing I do notice is my apnea going to be extra strain on your body. Okay.

Because one thing I do notice is my apnea seems to be physically induced via my position.

So if I fell asleep in this chair sitting upright, I could nasal breathe.

I probably wouldn't have proper tongue posture, but I wouldn't be having my mouth hanging open with my tongue in the back of my throat because it's not, you know, gravity is not pushing it back there. But when I lie down,

it falls back. So have you ever heard or suggested somebody to prop themselves up like full 90

degrees while sleeping? Usually not. Usually we know 25 degrees is like a lazy boy

chairs what we usually recommend for it okay so that's something you guys actually

recommend is like inclining yourself more to okay for people that sleep that

me yeah and then sleeping on your side on your side is that is there like a specific

way to do it to open your airway more or is it like...

It just tries to bring your tongue out of the way, right?

So gravity is not against you.

Okay.

But for somebody who doesn't have proper posture, it would just fall to the left or the right instead of at the roof where it's supposed to be?

Maybe, but yeah, the goal is just trying to create some sort of airway, right?

Usually side position sleeping is better.

You don't know unless you actually do like a sleep study in the hospital.
