Why nose breathing matters.
The nose is a filter, humidifier, and pressure regulator built into your face. We're just a small reminder to use it.
Nasal breathing increases nitric oxide in the airway.
Nitric oxide produced in the sinuses during nasal breathing helps dilate blood vessels and may improve oxygen uptake in the lungs. Mouth breathing bypasses this entirely.
Mouth breathing during sleep is linked to dry mouth, snoring, and poorer sleep quality.
Open-mouth sleep dehydrates oral tissues and is associated with increased snoring events and lighter, more fragmented sleep architecture in otherwise healthy adults.
Small, gentle mouth closure during sleep may reduce mild snoring.
A pilot study of adults with mild obstructive snoring found that applying a porous oral patch during sleep reduced the apnea-hypopnea index and snoring intensity.
The nose warms and humidifies air before it reaches the lungs.
Nasal passages heat inhaled air to near body temperature and saturate it with moisture, which reduces irritation in the lower airway compared to mouth breathing.
What hushlab is and isn't.
Hushlab is a wellness product designed to help healthy adults encourage nose breathing during sleep. It's not a medical device, a treatment for sleep apnea, or a cure for snoring.
If you snore heavily, wake up gasping, or feel unrested despite a full night's sleep, please see a sleep specialist. Mouth tape isn't a replacement for medical evaluation.
