Overview

Retraining your breathing is like any habit - it takes time ... Here are some pointers on getting started and taking a first successful step to stopping mouth breathing which can dramatically improve your sleep, daytime performance and overall health.

Healthy Sleep Habits

1. If you have nasal congestion, use a nasal rinse such as NielMed.
2. Avoid stimulants prior to sleep such as caffeine, alcohol, sugar, exercise or overeating.
3. Side sleep - sleeping on your back promotes mouth breathing and can block your airway.
4. Clear the mind by focusing on a calm breathing pattern for 5 minutes.

Starting with LipSeal Tape

Using LipSeal Tape is an aid to help with this transition- we recommend trying for a minimum of two weeks before determining how it is working.

1. Practice first while awake - watching TV, working on computer, reading… (however, keep in mind: experts recommend no screen time at least 30 minutes before bedtime).
2. Prior to applying the tape, curl the lips inward and hold together.
3. Apply the tape in a horizontal position with the ends curved down (think mustache, not joker smile).
4. Use the pull-tab for quick release.

If you have any complications with breathing through your nose, please discontinue use and consult your physician.
