- What about mouth taping? - I can be such a fan of mouth taping, but I think here are the caveats, and this is why a lot of the sleep community is upset about it, is that many people are just mouth taping and not taking the steps to get tested to make sure there's no respiratory-based disturbances at play, because if you are, you truly are just band-aiding the problem to the point that it can actually make it worse in some cases.

If you do have sleep apnea, upper air resistance syndrome, some of the snoring, but that's not to say that one, if we clear that out, make sure that's not present and you're good to go, then that you couldn't benefit from mouth taping. And it's also not to say that then if we discover you have one of these disorders, then can we use mouth tape to help with the treatment process, that you're also being treated for this and using mouth tape, you can absolutely do that as well.

There's just a concern, 'cause some people are now just blindly taking these steps without knowing that they might be doing some harm.
