I think it's easier.

A little bit easier.

Some people, their eyes just open up and they say, oh my God.

Then there's a good chance you suffer from nasal valve collapse.

Huge percentage of the population, like 20% of the population has this.

So you can wear these little nasal strips.

You can condition yourself to do that.

You have to become somebody who your default is nasal breathing.

This includes while you're walking.

This includes while you're jogging, while you're doing most exercise, and it especially includes at night.

And one of the ways you can do that at night, the ever controversial mouth tape is coming up here, everybody get ready, is I was told by a respiratory therapist at Stanford to use a teeny little piece of tape across my lips.

This is not a big fat strip of duct tape.

This is a teeny little piece of tape

to help train yourself to close your mouth at night to become a nasal breather.

It was extremely awkward for me the first couple of weeks.

She told me this seven years ago.

I remember two or three nights that I haven't worn that since because it made such an enormous difference to my sleep quality.

If you don't believe me, you can track your sleep and see what it does for you if you are a mouth breather.

This is one technique.

There are several techniques.
