Ali this is actually a well timed video because after a conversation with a number of doctor friends about my terrible sleep quality and waking up with a dry mouth in the middle of the night and one of them asked, are you a mouth breather? And I was shook. I’d never thought about that and now I can’t stop thinking about it. I’m about to try this!
I just finished reading Breath By James Nestor. He talks about how terrible mouthbreathing is for your health. There is a whole chapter on it. He even goes as far as plugging his own nostrils for a few weeks to see how bad it really is for your health. This book has totally changed my perspective on breathing. I recommend you read this book!
breathing though your nose during the day is *quite* important. There are quite a few people who also breath through their mouth which will lead to a bunch of negative side effects. It is well documented that mouth breathing adults are more likely to experience sleep disordered breathing, fatigue, decreased productivity and poorer quality of life than those who nasal-breathe. To mention a few; Importance of Nitric Oxide, negative Effect of Low Tongue Position, Postural Problems ...
Ali, I am a long time fan. The dentist in me says: While awake, it is perfectly normal for your teeth to be disengaged (Check out Vertical dimension of rest) yet your lips are supposed to remain competent (closed enough to allow for adequate nasal breathing). If not, the first step is to check with an ENT specialist to rule out Nasopharyngeal anatomical challenges or pathologies. As a patient of sleep disorders: I am glad that are diving into this issue to raise awareness about the quality of breathing during sleep. Totally relatable. Wish you all the best.
I have been sleeping with mouth tapes for 2 plus years. It seriously transformed my sleep. From snoring, dry mouth & dry throat to much BETTER sleep with no snoring. Slowly my body learns to breath more using my nose instead of my month. Currently using 3M Nexcare Strong Hold Pain Free Tape for sensitive skin (blue packaging and comes in a roll) as you don’t really need to buy those expensive tape specifically designed for mouth taping. Hope it helps!👍🏻
I hate that when I tape my mouth to sleep, the adhesive on my skin after I remove it is annoying, and it’ll really dry up my lips where the tape didn’t cover
As someone with mild sleep apnea, and many years of being blocked up, I found using hayfever nasal spray and nasal strips worked to open up your nostrils over time. Add in working out, as you should always breath through your nose, you end up learning to breath through your nose naturally. Sleep has improved over the last 4 years doing this, which I track via my fitbit but can feel the improvement too
Mouth breathing and snoring is something I've struggled with my whole life. I'm definitely going to give this a try.. and make a video like yours.. Cheers Ali
Omg. You have outdone yourself. Loved the way you illustrated the benefits with the notebook and printed image time lapse accompanied by your voice over. Your production quality has dramatically improved in the past one year I’ve been following you. It shows how much effort you’re putting in to improve. Great job.
I actually did this kind of the other way around. I would keep my mouth shut more consciously when I was awake and that would improve my mouth posture at night. Before i would often wake up with a very dry mouth, nowadays I don’t. But I also got rid of my pillow most of the time, so maybe it’s not only the things I do during the day 😀

The thing is you don't actually have to buy those "sleep specific" tapes. There are many medical tapes out there that are breathable and 1/5th the cost.
i’ve been mouth taping for 3 years. i can’t sleep without taping now. i only use a tiny strip of tape from below my nose to my chin. does the trick & feels less constricted than taping the entire mouth.

Weirdly, I just started listening to the audiobook 'Breath' by James Nestor, which basically explores the whole mouth breathing vs nose breathing debate.. I'm only a couple of hours into it but so far it's been really interesting if you wanted to look into this even further!

I like to think this is nothing to do with editing and he actually woke up in different clothes, and Ali realised this for the first time reading your comment
this mouth tapping is actually legit, there are some research about mouth breather and how it affect their facial appearance and intelligence in children. I tried to tape couple months ago but gave up as it always gets removed from my mouth while sleeping. and now continue to be a mouth breather especially during sleep which makes me drooling all over the bed and getting dry mouth everyday.
I did this about a year ago myself for a while. I wanted to try something, as I always woke up feeling groggy. I found it worked, but just fell out of the habit (mainly due to my firstborn coming along) I was cheap and just used bandaging tape. Worked fine for me and I definitely felt more alert in the most part.
The taping while asleep is pretty legit, I first heard about in some interviews and podcasts with James Nestor who really has studied the benefits of nose breathing for a long time. This video of Ali definetely reminded me and encourages me to try it out
@@melius7251 Yes I did. W/o tape my mouth is always dry when I wake up, and I wake up more frequently during the night. With tape the mouth is not dry in the morning, also the quality of sleep is better. I feel fresher in the morning, when I'm using it.
If you haven't read 'Breath' by James Nestor yet, I highly recommend. He talks about mouth taping and gives a bit more of the science into the advantages of nasal breathing, having overall health benefits, not just sleep.
I was legit about to start studying, got recommended this, had a mental battle and concluded that you simply can’t not click a “taping my mouth for 30 days in my sleep” video
After listening to a couple podcasts/videos with James Nestor a couple years ago, I started my nighttime nose breathing routine using blue painter’s tape. Small vertical strip from a 1” roll works great. Sticky enough that it rarely comes off during the night and has caused no skin issues. The vertical orientation leaves little gaps at edges of the mouth if I need to talk through the tape. Wife thinks I’m bonkers, but it really prevents nighttime dry mouth. Also trying to focus on nose breathing when I exercise. Have used the same taping routine a couple of times for that, but it’s not something I’ve done regularly. Considering trying that again.
Not breathing with your mouth also helps with strengthening and having a more defined jawline. Have you heard of Mewing? I've been doing it for a year or two and has been changing my jaw structure.
Ali, I would recommend you to read “Breath” by James Nestor. It encompasses the theory and practice of nose vs mouth breathing. It’s quite a remarkable read!
For side sleepers, and especially those with a narrow nasal passage, I highly & personally recommend Breathe Right nasal strips, especially if you are going to try this.
There also is evidence that the shape of your face changes depending on whether you're a mouth or a nose breather! Like your cheekbones, jawline and eyes will develop a lot better and look more prominent when you have your mouth closed most of the time! It would be interesting if you would keep it up and update on that as well!! :) Great and helpful video as always! Thank you!!
It shows how you take very drastic problem without negativity, if I was in your place I would have filled with profound negativity....guts off for your positive attitude and a ever green smile....giggles....😊😊😊😊
O' dear goodness thank you for doing this video. I wake up every night with what I call cactus mouth. I am really tempted to try this. Just to hear you say "please tell me my mouth is open, cause its not a great look" was worth watching this alone. Classic!
@@forgetfulstranger most of the nights i sleep with my mouth taped and one night for unknown reason i vomitted and instantly i waked up and removed the tape. Its the miracle of God in our life. All it requires a free hands and its safe.
@@georgegray2712 is evidence the new religion? Just try it it’s pretty self explanatory ... tape mouth more nose breathing... healthier breathing... if it works for you then it works for you
I’ve been doing this about a month. And I do have sleep apnea but I believe it’s helping me, even though I wear a mouthguard. I don’t wake up with any more headaches, I don’t wake up with dry mouth or terrible morning breath The real test is to check to see if my apnea is better. I have my mouthguard adjusted and I am going to follow up with our apnea home test. That will indicate if my apnea is better, but overall I do wake up more refreshed, no bad breath and No morning headaches
I’ve been going this for awhile now after i read “Breath” by James Nestor. Life changer for me, sleep apnea runs in the family and I’ve always been a snorer. Hope this will help me out long term
This is the MOST unique experiment I have ever heard of!! First I thought this video was sarcasm and a click bait....but OMG Ali, you did your research and bought official sleeping mouth tape!! I shouldn't expect anything less. 😋 Ali, you never cease to make me laugh. Thanks so much for sharing this!! I always learn something new from you.
I have severe sleep apnea bc my airways through my nose are really small (I’m not overweight or anything essentially.) I got a CPAP last year and it has helped a lot. Now I’m forced to breathe through my nose at night, and it’s epic. Without my CPAP I breathe through my mouth and snore extremely loudly. I wake up with a dry mouth and throat. So yeah, breathing through your nose is way better than breathing through your mouth. It really really helps, not to mention you won’t be a mouth breather lol
Do you think you could get away with just the tape (and no cpap machine)? I have just been diagnosed as severe apnea but after the 6 week trial, my readings were still not great. thanks in advance . best wishes. jen
Check out a product called “Intake Breathing”. It uses magnets you tape to your nose, and connects to a plastic piece you put over the bridge of your nose with another set of magnets in it. It helps keep your nose open wider. Great combo of taping your mouth and using tools to assist your nose.
Actually for all skeptics out there, this idea of taping your mouth at night is the first steps towards breathing in and out through your nose at all time including during cardio exercises. This method has been developed by Patrick McKeown who wrote the Oxygen Advantage in which he explains how and why you can improve performance by learning to breathe through your nose and not the mouth. The good old adage "Noses are for breathing, mouths are for eating". There's plenty of scientific evidence to support his methodology. It has helped people to cope with asthma, overweight issues, etc and countless athletes perform to their best. Plus the added benefits on a day-to-day basis that by breathing in and out through your nose you active the parasympathetic system i.e. you are deepening your state of relaxation instead of being in a constant fight or flight mode.

Also more popularly called kinesthetic tape in US pharmacies. Don't forget to cut some slits.

If you haven't read 'Breath' by James Nestor yet, I highly recommend. He talks about mouth taping and gives a bit more of the science into the advantages of nasal breathing, having overall health benefits, not just sleep.
Me: tons of stuff to do for work and courses to complete.
RUclips: hey, watch this guy sleeping with a mouth tape
Me: sure!
I was legit about to start studying, got recommended this, had a mental battle and concluded that you simply can’t not click a “taping my mouth for 30 days in my sleep” video
Ik same and now my lesson starts right now
Of all the people to tell me to tape my mouth shut...
*I never thought it would be you Ali* 🤐🤐🤐
When you watch Matt D’Avella once...
Thanks!
After listening to a couple podcasts/videos with James Nestor a couple years ago, I started my nighttime nose breathing routine using blue painter’s tape. Small vertical strip from a 1” roll works great. Sticky enough that it rarely comes off during the night and has caused no skin issues. The vertical orientation leaves little gaps at edges of the mouth if I need to talk through the tape. Wife thinks I’m bonkers, but it really prevents nighttime dry mouth. Also trying to focus on nose breathing when I exercise. Have used the same taping routine a couple of times for that, but it’s not something I’ve done regularly. Considering trying that again.
Was I the only one who thought that Ali was branching out into BDSM vids when I read the title?
How to have a productive sex life?
This is a subtle and productive way to attract the ladies!
I was wondering why I was recommended Ali after about a year. I was on a BDSM binge this morning 😁.
Me: reads the title
Also me: *sorry what*

Not breathing with your mouth also helps with strengthening and having a more defined jawline. Have you heard of Mewing? I've been doing it for a year or two and has been changing my jaw structure.
Ali, I would recommend you to read “Breath” by James Nestor. It encompasses the theory and practice of nose vs mouth breathing. It’s quite a remarkable read!
Awesome book. And he suggests using a stamp sized piece of cloth tape, which is what I do as well. Personally, I wouldn't waste money on those strips.
Same, a small square of cloth medical tape works well
For side sleepers, and especially those with a narrow nasal passage, I highly & personally recommend Breathe Right nasal strips, especially if you are going to try this.
alternative title: "I slept PRODUCTIVELY for 30 days"
say that slowly
Pro...duct...tively
@@shelby255 haha, nice one!😀😂
There also is evidence that the shape of your face changes depending on whether you're a mouth or a nose breather!
Like your cheekbones, jawline and eyes will develop a lot better and look more prominent when you have your mouth closed most of the time!
It would be interesting if you would keep it up and update on that as well!! :)
Great and helpful video as always! Thank you!!
Thank you for being so honest about this; it is not easy to talk about and it is hard to correct
James Nestor’s book “breath” talks about this technique - would highly recommend!
Nice little experiment.
But, I'd definitely suffocate if I tried this.
Same lmfao
no one:
absolutely no one:
Ali: how I sleep PRODUCTIVELY
ali inspired me to start my yt channel
No one says nothing?
I’m pretty sure my flat mates wish I did this 😂😂😂
I confess.
I clicked on this video as a joke.
But within just the first few minutes, I was genuinely hooked.
Great video, Ali!
It shows how you take very drastic problem without negativity, if I was in your place I would have filled with profound negativity....guts off for your positive attitude and a ever green smile....giggles....😊😊😊😊
Lol tape his mouth = saliva building blocks
Vgggggg
Nah Ali I can't this, this is too much 😂
When are you gonna post udoka?
When r u gonna post udoka
i love your videos
@@dee5361 soon 👀 working on something right now DW
Ayyyy it’s Udoka
If I start that, my wife will keep my mouth taped shut 24/7, and then I'll never be able to talk again.
O' dear goodness thank you for doing this video. I wake up every night with what I call cactus mouth. I am really tempted to try this. Just to hear you say "please tell me my mouth is open, cause its not a great look" was worth watching this alone. Classic!
I would love to try this but also I don't want to die in such a humiliating way 😂
Exactly this.
Doesn’t work like that. It’s quite safe.
@@RogueCylon theres a hole he said i think its for emergency situation
And if you will not able to breath
You will probably wakeup
That's silly, you'll wake up if you start suffocating. Unless you decide to die, idk
@@forgetfulstranger most of the nights i sleep with my mouth taped and one night for unknown reason i vomitted and instantly i waked up and removed the tape. Its the miracle of God in our life. All it requires a free hands and its safe.
the level of confusion I had clicking on this video 😂

You should read “Breath” by James Nestor. Fantastic book, it talks about everything you said in your video.
Im going to read it
@@georgegray2712 is evidence the new religion? Just try it it’s pretty self explanatory ... tape mouth more nose breathing... healthier breathing... if it works for you then it works for you
I’ve been doing this about a month. And I do have sleep apnea but I believe it’s helping me, even though I wear a mouthguard. I don’t wake up with any more headaches, I don’t wake up with dry mouth or terrible morning breath
The real test is to check to see if my apnea is better.
I have my mouthguard adjusted and I am going to follow up with our apnea home test. That will indicate if my apnea is better, but overall I do wake up more refreshed, no bad breath and No morning headaches
the other day i commented
"next: my insanely productive sleep"
Ali: hold my iTape
Next 30 day challenge:
Going on a date every day for 30 days.
I’ve been going this for awhile now after i read “Breath” by James Nestor. Life changer for me, sleep apnea runs in the family and I’ve always been a snorer. Hope this will help me out long term
Did it help you with snorking?
This is the MOST unique experiment I have ever heard of!! First I thought this video was sarcasm and a click bait....but OMG Ali, you did your research and bought official sleeping mouth tape!! I shouldn't expect anything less. 😋 Ali, you never cease to make me laugh. Thanks so much for sharing this!! I always learn something new from you.
Love to see the creative over head shots. Those art lessons are getting put to use !

omg hahaha the Sheen feature made my day, she's absolutely hilarious
More like, my flatmate made me sleep with my mouth taped shut for 30 days.....
"Wanted better quality sleep"
Films himself during the night with a super bright light
Lol
I have severe sleep apnea bc my airways through my nose are really small (I’m not overweight or anything essentially.) I got a CPAP last year and it has helped a lot. Now I’m forced to breathe through my nose at night, and it’s epic.
Without my CPAP I breathe through my mouth and snore extremely loudly. I wake up with a dry mouth and throat. So yeah, breathing through your nose is way better than breathing through your mouth. It really really helps, not to mention you won’t be a mouth breather lol
Do you think you could get away with just the tape (and no cpap machine)? I have just been diagnosed as severe apnea but after the 6 week trial, my readings were still not great. thanks in advance . best wishes. jen
@@Jenny-Avalon I'm in the same boat. Severe sleep apnea but cannot tolerate the cpap
Check out a product called “Intake Breathing”.
It uses magnets you tape to your nose, and connects to a plastic piece you put over the bridge of your nose with another set of magnets in it.
It helps keep your nose open wider.
Great combo of taping your mouth and using tools to assist your nose.
Me: I haven't watched an Ali Abdaal video in a while, let's see what he's up to.
Ali:
Ali if you feel like your nose is regularly blocked you might wanna try giving up dairy.
That was a total game changer for me
Me looking at the title: what the -
“Alexa, lights off in the bedroom.”
In Ali’s voice, it sounds surreal but nice. 👀
I mouth tape every night, now it feels weird to sleep without taping. I definitely have improved my sleep.
Actually for all skeptics out there, this idea of taping your mouth at night is the first steps towards breathing in and out through your nose at all time including during cardio exercises. This method has been developed by Patrick McKeown who wrote the Oxygen Advantage in which he explains how and why you can improve performance by learning to breathe through your nose and not the mouth. The good old adage "Noses are for breathing, mouths are for eating". There's plenty of scientific evidence to support his methodology. It has helped people to cope with asthma, overweight issues, etc and countless athletes perform to their best. Plus the added benefits on a day-to-day basis that by breathing in and out through your nose you active the parasympathetic system i.e. you are deepening your state of relaxation instead of being in a constant fight or flight mode.
Use nasal drop and then clean nose sleep well
