How to Sleep Better Naturally: Best Sleep Tapes for Rest & Recovery

How to Use Mouth Tape Correctly for Deeper, Restful Sleep

Getting a restful night’s sleep can feel harder than it should. Many Australians wake up feeling tired, or with a dry mouth - or even complaints about snoring from their partner. One often overlooked reason is how we breathe while sleeping.

When the mouth falls open at night, breathing becomes less efficient and sleep can feel lighter and more disrupted. Encouraging nasal breathing instead helps the body relax into deeper, more restorative rest. Mouth tape is a simple way more and more people support this natural breathing pattern.

Why Mouth Breathing Happens During Sleep?

During sleep, facial muscles relax, including those that help keep the mouth closed. If nasal airflow feels even slightly restricted, the body often switches to mouth breathing without you realising.

This can lead to:

Dry mouth or sore throat in the morning
Increased snoring
More restless, broken sleep
Feeling tired even after a full night of sleep.

This is no way to start your day.

Supporting the body in returning to nasal breathing can help create a calmer and more stable sleep pattern.

How Mouth Taping Encourages Nasal Breathing

Mouth taping works by gently keeping the lips together during sleep. It does not force breathing. It simply encourages the body to use the nose, which is designed for superior airflow, filtration and moisture control.

The results are often instant, while using the mouth tape, including:

reduced open-mouth snoring naturally without any tape at all
Preventing overnight dryness
Supporting quieter, more settled sleep

It works best as part of a healthy overall sleep routine.

How Mouth Taping Encourages Nasal Breathing

If you are new to mouth taping, start slowly and focus on comfort.

1. Make sure your nose is clear
You should be able to breathe comfortably through your nose before applying tape. You can pair with our SchleepStrips nose strips for some support getting more airflow via the nasal passageways.

2. Apply to clean, dry skin
Remove any moisture, and wait 30-60 mins after moisturizer or skin care so the tape adheres gently.

3. Place the tape lightly across closed lips
It should feel secure but never tight or restrictive. Use a mirror and hold down your hands over the tape for 5-10 seconds for best results. If you’ve got facial hair, trace the lips with your finger to ensure a bond. Don’t worry, it won't rip at your lips or hair whatsoever, so long as you remove slowly.

4. Don’t give up
It can feel a bit scary or weird at first, but don’t worry - you’ll be able to breathe just fine through your nose while you sleep. That’s the point! Most people adapt within a few nights, and barely even notice they’re wearing anything at all. Alternatively, you can use our mouth tapes with slit for sipping, talking and the ability to breathe through your mouth if needed.
