The Controversial Trend of Mouth-Taping for Better Sleep

A woman expresses concern over her husband's practice of taping his mouth shut at night to encourage nasal breathing. Her husband discovered the Buteyko Breathing Technique, which has helped him reduce his reliance on medication for asthma and allergies. While the woman worries about potential suffocation, experts suggest that nasal breathing is generally beneficial and her husband's ability to manage his allergies without frequent medication is a positive sign. The doctor does not express concern about the taping practice.
