A BETTER NIGHT'S SLEEP BY USING FACE TAPE

We breathe automatically, without even having to think about it. Yet 80% of the world's population breathes incorrectly , which Intermittent Living Mentor Siebe Hannosset also mentioned during the Intermittent Living Course . Fortunately, we are becoming more aware of our breathing and also what the benefits are.

Breathing is more than just the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide, it supplies your cells with oxygen (allowing all internal processes to do their job) and it removes waste products . It can also have a healing effect on your emotional household .

During the day we are able to consciously breathe through your nose, this is where all the health benefits lie and this is also what you can best do at night. Only you are not aware of your breathing when you sleep, that is why more and more people choose to sleep with mouth tape on.
Mouth breathing causes you to weaken both your mental and physical health . So if you sleep with your mouth open for 8 hours, this can have a major impact on your well-being.

That's why it's good to find out for yourself whether you breathe through your mouth when you sleep. The following symptoms can point out that you breathe through your mouth at night :
- dry mouth.
- snoring.
- wake up thirsty.
- bad breath.
- waking up irritable and tired.
- not be sharp.
- chronic fatigue.
- hoarseness.
- dark circles under the eyes.

Now you might be wondering what then the benefits of nasal breathing are and we have listed them for you below:
- It increases nitric oxide production in your sinuses, this has been linked to reduced inflammation, overall better immune system function, improved sleep and memory.
- it keeps your heart rate under control and improves gas extraction, which your body functions better and you have more energy .
- It stimulates healthy and relaxed abdominal breathing .
- It makes you calmer .
- Nitrogen dioxide is produced in your nose, this works as a bacteria killer and causes the airways and blood vessels in the lungs to relax and widen.

So these are all reasons to continue breathing through your nose at night, and that's where mouth tape comes in. The mouth tape ensures a better night's sleep , because when you tape your mouth shut you automatically give your body the signal to breathe through your nose.

Before going to bed, simply tape your mouth with special mouth tape. Make sure that you clean the surface around your lips before you stick the tape on, so that the tape sticks well.
Of course there is also a difference in quality, one tape sticks better than the other. We therefore recommend that you read the reviews of the different brands of mouth tape.

Sleep tight and make sure that if you have a partner, you have said everything to him/her before going to bed! ;-)
