Here's another thing that can be super helpful, uh, as somebody who really emphasizes proper breathing and breathing mechanics, is mouth tape. You've heard of it, you've probably seen all the ads, and basically putting a piece of 3M Micropore tape over your lips just like this vertically can have a powerful effect on your sleep quality. It ensures your oral microbiome stays intact, it ensures you're breathing through your nose, you're cleansing, purifying, moisture regulating, temperature regulating the air, and pressurizing the air that you breathe. It also shifts your nervous system into a more parasympathetic state. You start dreaming again, and because mouth breathing is a diuretic, you're not going to wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom anymore. And that's a notable difference that my clients report back to me. They also wake up way more refreshed when they breathe through their nose versus breathing through their mouth, and eliminates morning breath and microbiome issues in, in the oral microbiome as well. So it's a really powerful use case and technique for breathing through the nose versus breathing through the and the 3M Micropore tape, you can buy a roll, uh, you can buy a roll for like less than a dollar. A dozen of them cost about $10 on Amazon. So all you need is a small strip. A roll will last you forever. Throw one in your toiletry bag, in your travel bag, and keep one by your bedside. And certainly you can thank me later.
