P eople have been talking up mouth-taping lately on TikTok and Instagram as a home remedy for snoring, insomnia, dry mouth, and other sleep-related issues—and the trend seems to be sticking ...
Mouth taping involves placing a type of tape over the mouth to prevent mouth breathing, forcing the individual to breathe through their nose while sleeping, says Angela Holliday-Bell, M.D., board ...
It has been shown that the cilia of the congested side suspend their motility until that side decongests. Thus the cycle ensures that one side of the nose is always moist, to facilitate humidification, which is one of the three functions of the nose, the other two being filtration and warming of inspired air prior to its entering the lungs.

Snoring is the vibration of respiratory structures and the resulting sound due to obstructed air movement during breathing while sleeping. The sound may be soft or loud and unpleasant. Snoring during sleep may be a sign, or first alarm, of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Research suggests that snoring is one of the factors of sleep deprivation.
In phonetics, ingressive sounds are sounds by which the airstream flows inward through the mouth or nose. The three types of ingressive sounds are lingual ingressive or velaric ingressive (from the tongue and the velum), glottalic ingressive (from the glottis), and pulmonic ingressive (from the lungs).
Another symptom is the movement of fluid from the mouth through the communication and into the maxillary sinus, as the maxillary sinus is connected to the nose and therefore fluid can come out of the nostrils when drinking. [3] There may be variations in the noises made by the voice and nose, particularly a whistling sound made when speaking. [3]
Nasal obstruction characterized by insufficient airflow through the nose can be a subjective sensation or the result of objective pathology. [10] It is difficult to quantify by subjective complaints or clinical examinations alone, hence both clinicians and researchers depend both on concurrent subjective assessment and on objective measurement of the nasal airway.
Rheum (/ r uː m /; from Greek: ῥεῦμα rheuma 'a flowing, rheum') is a thin mucus naturally discharged from the eyes, nose, or mouth, often during sleep (contrast with mucopurulent discharge). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Rheum dries and gathers as a crust in the corners of the eyes or the mouth, on the eyelids, or under the nose. [ 3 ]
