Mouth Taping and Sleep Apnea - Sleep Apnea Squad Ep. 7

Mouth taping is everywhere on social media. Influencers claim it can improve sleep quality, reduce snoring, and encourage nasal breathing. But for people wondering about mouth taping and sleep apnea, the story is more complicated. Project Sleep brought together experts and patient voices to explore what mouth taping can and cannot do, and why getting evaluated for sleep apnea remains the most important first step.
