Mouth Taping and Breathing Exercises Have Gone Viral — But the Science Hasn’t Caught Up

Following the publication of James Nestor’s 2020 book Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, mouth taping has exploded across social media, wellness communities, and the biohacking world. This 21-day study is designed to explore whether a structured program combining mouth taping and behavioral techniques may improve:

     1) Snoring frequency and intensity
     2) Perceived sleep quality
     3) Perceived energy
     4) Stress and relaxation at night
     5) Sleep consistency over time

Who This Study Is For

This study may be a good fit if you:

  • - snore regularly (or someone has told you that you snore)
    - wake up experiencing dry mouth
    - suspect you breathe through your mouth at night
    - want to try a structured sleep improvement program
    - are curious about breathing-based sleep optimization

No special equipment is required.

SleepSpace has CBTi based programming that was validated in a randomized controlled trial

Instead of testing these tools in a lab, we’re studying what happens where it matters most: in real bedrooms, in real routines, with real people.

FAQs

Sleep Quality Isn’t Just About How Long You Sleep

Most people think better sleep is only about getting more hours.But sleep quality is influenced by what happens during the night, including breathing patterns, nervous system activation, and sleep continuity.

The Impact of Mouth Breathing

One of the most overlooked contributors to poor sleep is mouth breathing, which may contribute to snoring, dry mouth, restless sleep, and waking up unrefreshed.That’s why SleepSpace is partnering with Hostage Tape to run a 21-day sleep study exploring how mouth taping, breathing exercises, and behavioral interventions may support better sleep.

Why We’re Running This Study

SleepSpace has spent the last decade exploring how sleep behavior change, circadian scheduling, and sleep environment optimization can improve real-world sleep outcomes.

This study is designed to build on that work by evaluating how breathing interventions and nighttime nasal breathing support may affect sleep quality and snoring over a 21-day period.
