Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I wake up with a bone-dry mouth and a partner who says I snored all night, and I sleep a full eight hours but still feel unrested
• I suspect I’ve been breathing wrong my whole life
• I keep catching myself with my mouth hanging open while I’m hunched over the screen concentrating, and who knows how many hours a day I spend like that without noticing
• I’m heavy and half-asleep and a slow deep breath isn’t going to cut it
• I’m lying in bed wired

Practices that may help

1. Mouth taping during sleep
