Nose Breathing in the night

[Florian]

Hello, 

I have the problem that I only breathe through my mouth in the night even if I tape it shut, 90% of the time I will wake up with the tape gone and my mouth dry, I think i even fucking ate the tape once in my sleep. I know that this damages the microbiome in my mouth which is connected with the gut microbiome and the brain and has overall very negative effects, which I can also observe on myself. Does anyone have any tips on this? I would greatly appreciate it

How is your nasal breathing throughout the day? Have you tried to checking your BOLT?

You should be able to do somewhat strenuous exercise through your nose.

Do you consume diary? If so, try eliminating it to see if it makes a difference.

@aurum I can breathe though my nose throughout the whole day.

What is BOLT? 

And Im going to test my limits exercise-wise, but I am sick right now, so that will have to wait a bit.

That's a good sign.

BOLT is a test:

The science is not all that rigorous, but it's an easy enough way to check your general nasal breathing capacity / CO2 tolerance. 

If you have breathing dysfunction during the day, it's going to carry over into the night.
