#47 - Sleep and Mouth Taping: Our Lips Are Sealed
Manage episode 363331074 series 3365942
Now that lettuce water and melatonin spray has had their moments, mouth taping seems to be the latest sleep social media trend that everyone is talking about. What does the evidence say about the practice? Is it legitimately helpful? In this episode, we will:
- Examine the functions of the nose in the respiration process (filtering, humidification, etc.)
- Attempt to quantify the scope of nocturnal mouth breathing, both in the sleep apnea and non-sleep apnea population
- Rank to incidence of mouth breathing based upon sleep stage
- Contextualize the role in increased nitric oxide via nasal breathing
- Evaluate the scope of sleep apnea and snoring improvement based upon mouth taping and how it relates to other treatments
- Discuss the role of mouth taping and CPAP compliance
- Touch upon the role of mouth taping and oral health
- Break down the relationship between ADHD and mouth taping, and the influence of sleep-related breathing disturbances in this proposed relationship
- Go through the list of considerations related to the practice of mouth taping
