uh no thats quite rude very hateful of you to say..... and quite scary to think theres people with mindsets like this!!
I go for a walk with mouthtape on .. its helps me so much .. I have been mouth taping over a year , I never had cough or cold since then, if I get symptoms I wake in the morning fresh ,, my sinuses are doing great, I fact I feel so better that I lost 39lb in one year doing nothing extra .. just by feeling better and feeling energetic.. thank you dr. You have changed my life
After 6 nights of taping, I finally woke up with the tape still on. Sinus issues seem a whole lot better and I am more alert at wake-up. Thanks!
way to go !
How
Don't do that you can also die
@@habit4906 it has something to do with the carbon oxide not leaving your body properly
2 years later.. are you still taping ?
tried it last night and woke up without dry mouth !!! awesome !!!
Glad mouth taping is working for you. You should notice additional benefits of mouth taping with time.
@Forrest Possibly. Try practicing Buteyko Breathing.
siemenssx1 i had the same problem and couldn't breath well even in day so i did a surgery ( really easy and no pain you can ask me about the septoplasty if you need too) and now i can breath through my nose during day and now trying to do it at night as well !
siemenssx1 so actually i cant place correctly my tongue since i used a cild pacifier until 6 that's the first thing than i had a 3-4 yo a nose deviation and had a septoplasty a few month ago so now i can use my nose and try to mew on daytime ( my palate expand like crazy in only a day ) but than i mouth breath and it completely shrinks ( i cannot fall asleep while nose breathing i use an air humidifier to help me because i have a dry nose but i wish i can nose breath and have a good tongue position while sleeping sorry for this looooong message
siemenssx1 actually i think my dry nose is because of allergy especially dust mites . About the septoplasty if you have any questions i am here ! But first it works really good i was having one sude completely closed and now that's the side that works the best to breathe and no pain at all so really really good thing for me that i did this surgery
I can’t believe I mouth breathed my whole entire life.. My facial structure isn’t how I want it to be but we only have one life to live. Gotta make the best of it
Look into vitamin K2 Mk7 for facial structure and pallet repair
Start mewing. It's not too late
@@AscendedWarriors how long does it take to see the results of mewing?
@@barahrabinova years. But if you are younger than 25 its easier. The younger the easier
@@barahrabinova 15? Dam well you are on time for sure
Mouth taping has been a game changer for me. I’m ready to get up in the morning w/out feeling groggy. The continual yawning that I used to do throughout the day has stopped. I feel more alert also. Sometimes I’d wake up with dry mouth. Lol! I use regular 3M scotch masking tape. My local Walgreens did not carry micropore tape. It holds well n I use caution n care taking it off my face in the morning. So glad I didn’t write off mouth taping as nonsense.
Laura Swartz That’s wonderful to hear! Thanks for sharing.
Is it still going well for you? I’m 20, I find it so difficult to breathe through my nose.
I'm waiting for 3M Whiskey tape.
Hey Mark, I’ve been breathing through my mouth when I sleep my whole life and I just now realize it has caused all my face deformities, performance in sports, mental issues etc. I’m 20 and I was going crazy thinking that I am just genetically supposed to be worse than the average human being in almost all aspects. Thank you for sharing this, I just wish i knew this sooner or that my parents knew. I’m going to try mewing and see if my life turns around. I’ll update you in the future :)
I’m a 20 year old women and 100% relate to this.
Update ??
Update?
Updateee
You sound like me!! Except I'm already 27 and only discovered mewing at 25! Personally, after mewing for 1.5 years (I'm inconsistent with it but have done it off on) I have noticed my facial structure starting to look a bit better!! I've had weird teeth, a crooked face, and terrible profile, and I'm noticing a huge difference in my teeth straightening out and slight differences in my face! Also I've only been mouth taping for a few days and I've had the best sleeps of my life!! Highly recommend everyone try mewing and mouth taping!!
I found out about this on tiktok and i’m so mad i didn’t discover it sooner. I wake up feeling so rested and refreshed
Same, mouth taping is a gamechanger!
3 nights in a row I've done this. No tossing and turning. Had dreams,. I soar joints including lower back. Blankets still on the bed. Woke up alert and energized each! No question for me total game changer! Found medical tape at the at dollar store. Plane to continue this and share it with friends!
Your joints and soar back got better ?
you should definitely get tested for sleep apnea
Thank you for speaking about this. It's rarely known in mainstream thought, and it's absolutely vital for health. I'm so glad you're bringing this to light. 🙏
I had to come back & share I’ve been doing this for three nights in a row & feel refreshed every morning when I wake up. This is an inexpensive underrated tool to reset your body. 💪🏽
Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s giving me the confidence to try this and succeed!
Are you still doing it?
but where did u buy it can i find it in the pharmacy or i can't cause i can't délivre it from amazon 😥😥😥😥
Wow, mouth tapping has definitely improved my sleep and I feel well rested in the morning! Thanks
Have been using the tape for 3 weeks now. Heaps better sleep continuous through the night uninterrupted.
The system seems way out and I think if I told people I did it, they’d think I wasn’t the full quid, but it works
I’ve had so many painful throat pain and feeling overall terrible after waking up for many years. I started doing this in June and still doing it now and holy shit the difference this made one of the greatest and most helpful videos I’ve ever seen on CZcams. My mornings are so much better thank u so much.
Tried taping for about 2 weeks now. It works great. The paper medical tape is just strong enough to keep my mouth closed all night and weak enough that I can easily break it by opening my mouth if need be. 1 roll should last at least a month or more and the tape sells for $2.99 for package 2 rolls at my local Kroger. Since I've been using the tape, I've had almost zero leaks at night on my Cpap machine.
Hi Dr. B, ive had a deviated septum due to dustmite allergy for my whole life. Im turning 25 this year, can mouth taping help with stopping the convex facial deformities at this stage?
Thx1138sober doesn’t that harm the skin around the mouth?
@@michaellongyears5575 look into mewing
In India it costs only 10 cents lol
@@stefanj3601what do you mean by mewing?
I use tape every night as i have a CPAP machine and tend to be a mouth breather Took a while but got used to nose breathing into the mask!Gets lungs oxygenated really well,get a good nights sleep feel great next morning!
Loud snorer here and bless my partner's heart, he does a wonderful job of not complaining/griping when I fall asleep first. I tried taping last week and I actually slept through the night without snoring AND woke up feeling extremely well rested. The only thing I wouldn't recommend would be using duct tape, it'll definitely work but it'll leave the skin beneath really dry and irritated.
I can imagine the joy of good sleep and the hurt on skin at the same time... Thanks for sharing
What kind of tape would you recommend?
Encourage you to get a sleep test to check for obstructive sleep apnea. You might be stopping breathing in the night. I stopped every minute. CPAP made major improvements. CHEERS!
Tried this last night using medical tape. I’m not sure if it’s the placebo effect because I did hear great things about mouth taping. However, I woke up much happier than usual, no congestion, no puffy morning face. Will be continuing for sure!
Tried this last night and it worked.
I used to have a sour taste on my mouth after sleeping for hours.
But this morning it was gone and I was able to swallow and drink water after waking up.
Thank you so much
I have no idea how your video was recommended to me. But Im very thankful
Thank you so much doctor for that. I have been mouth breathing at night for along time & didn't think anything of it. I developed gum problem, itchy ears, blood pressure high & didn't know why, dentist couldn't find anything wrong, doctor was baffled but I did not say I'm a mouth breather because I didn't think it was a big deal...but wow I just read the serious effects it has. So I have diagnosed myself & I have been mouth taping for a couple of days now & I feel so much better.🙏🏾❤️
Wow really ? I am a mouth breather and can u share your experiences
I've started waking up in the night with the Sahara Desert in my mouth. I actually thought I should just tape my mouth shut, and so I searched it this morning. Surprised to find so much information supportive of the practice. Can't wait to try.
How did it work for you?? I've recently started having the same problem -- my mouth is like the Sahara Desert upon awakening, so bad sometimes that it actually HURTS!! Did the mouth taping work?
@@repentjesusiscomingsoon1529 I got tired of the taping, so I just keep one of those little spray bottles of mouth moistener next to my bed.
I go for a walk with mouthtape on too as I keep my mouth open day and night .. its helps me so much .. I have been mouth taping over a year , I never had cough or cold since then, if I get symptoms I wake in the morning fresh after moth taping in night ,, my sinuses are doing great, I fact I feel so better that I lost 39lb in one year doing nothing extra .. just by feeling better and feeling energetic.. thank you dr. You have changed my life, yes I didn’t know that I was mouth breather entire my life , my teeth are forward , I started my orthodontist treatment two months ago with Invisalign.. I am so happy with over all changes.. I love it 😘
Your teeth changed shape after mouth-taping?
I’ve been doing this and my sleep has been amazing! Highly recommend this
amen
Mouth-taping reduces apnea too. Thank you for this excellent, articulate talk.
Breath, the science of a lost art. Great book.
agreed.
Really impressed on what the author did to make this book.
You are awesome doctor. Thanks a lot. It worked for me. No dry throat anymore
very important discussion about breathing
Wow, you are the first person I have heard linking ADHD to mouth breathing. I am 60 with ADD, when you said those words it instantly joined up a 100 dots throughout my entire life. It makes perfect sense now............................ Thank you so much Mark. PS. I have only discovered nose breathing and humming the past 2 days and already the change/improvement has been astonishing.
How is it working for you 10 months later?
@@theXsnowballX Still doing it my friend, and yes, much clearer breathing. In fact the odd night when I forget ( too much Rum LOL ) or it comes off during the night, I notice straight away as soon as I wake up my sinuses are very stuffy.
@@kobalt77 Are you still doing it?
Also, by humming I assume you are talking about monotone low humming to get the mucus flowing to free up your lungs? As said, I'm only assuming because that's the only context where I've heard humming and breathing in medical context.
@@AvidEric Hi Eric, yes and No. I have grown a beard and the tape is nightmare to get off LOL....................... I do the humming to create more Nitric Oxide, there are some great videos about it here on YTube. Patrick McKeown especially and another female doctor who explains it all , but cannot remember her name. it will come up if you search hummiing and Nitic oxide.
@@kobalt77 what is the humming that you speak of?
Been waking up since the 4th quarter of 2022 with a dry mouth and throat. Tried this last night,tape stayed on and woke up feeling better.
Thank you Doctor Mark, I’ve been getting sore throats, and dry mouth, and waking up often, I’m going to try this tonight, and hopefully I will sleep better and not wake up in pain, from my throat.
Thank You Dr.!
All my life I thought my face was bad from my genetics but I did my research and now I’m relieved. I’m going to buy mouth tapes and mew. Thank god i found about this
How is it going ?
This makes so much sense
Thank you Sir you are great, I have problems with my teeth and I am a long time mouth breather, my Dentist never ask me about this, thank you for the great advise.
I just started taping my mouth at night last week. Wow! It's interesting because I've never been a good sleeper. BTW: I use Scotch tape -- about a two-inch piece laterally in the center of my lips. So far, the tape doesn't move at all through the night. I've also been more conscientious about how I breathe throughout the day. I've noticed differences but it's too early to report about it. I am so glad I found this and other videos about the topic. Thanks so much!
Thankyou, will buy tape tomorrow 🥰
Can't wait to try this!
thank you! my clogged nose was clear when i woke up today, i feel rested too!
Glad it helped!
Along with all the health issues this has brought me, I've also noticed that my hair is falling out. I got blood work done and I've also discarted any OTHER hormonal issues. I've learned that mouth breathing allows more cortisol production meaning you are living stressed 24/7 if you are mouth breathing
Mouth taping was a game changer for my brother! He tried a bunch out but used hostage tape now said it stays on the best and is uncomfortable. makes a huge difference!
You are a very good doctor. Thank you.
Thanks Doc.
Seeing an Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist can help with proper oral posture and retraining people to breath through the nose. An ENT is great to see if you have a deviated septum and are capable to breath through your nose. If your dentist has a CT they can help determine if you have a deviated septum as well. If that is the case you have to address first prior to being able to retrain breathing habits.
Great video!
I heard about this through your video! Will try tonight!
Thanks! I am glad you found the information useful!
Thank you for sharing this video.
Can’t wait to try this tonight, thanks !
How'd go
Are you still alive! Lol
Hey Mark, I just tried mouth taping as I realized I am a mouth breather. It actually makes me feel calmer too. There’s really something to this! I think this could really help people who have anxiety too.
This is my mission for 2021.
I’ve been a mouth breather my whole life and didn’t know this stuff. I gotta breathe through my nose thanks for the tips
Did you start?
How is it
Thank you this worked for me
Im 48 and have suffered for over 25 years from mouth breathing and didn't even know it. I was always groggy tired and yawning all day suffered from constant mucus in my throat and voice box and gerd. Iwas beyond annoying to say the least suffered also from deviated septom. I stumbled across mouth taping by accident and boy has it changed my life dramatically. I no longer wake up groggy dry mouthed and horrible breath. The mucus disappeared after about a week and a half i had constant sinus infections so much so i had surgery to repair my deviated septom. It didnt really help it came right back. But this is a game changer for sure. Im living a whole new life free of constant mucus, tiredness, and sinus infections and sleep like a baby. I used to wake up at least 5 times a night now i sleep the entire night most nights. Its amazing that a little piece of frickin tape can change so much. I was about to have a sleep study done because it was so bad to the point i would wake up gasping for air because my throat was always inflammed and mucus filled. But not anymore. I would highly recommend you try this method before spending thousands of dollars on costly surgerys and cpap machines.
Thank you for this
I had a very bad experience with mouth taping that I feel needs sharing. I used 3M's hypoallergenic micropore tape. After about a month of using it I started having some weird mental symptoms, hard to describe but I referred to it as a brief lack of bloodflow to the brain, or a mental jolt, and they only occurred in the evening. I later developed edema (liquid retention/swelling) around my ankles, and then I started experiencing extremely low heartrate (around 50), a general sense of weakness, and noise sensitivity, specifically in the late evening. I went to the doctor, everything looked normal and I was sent to a heart specialist, who stuck a bunch of electropads on my torso to measure my heart over the course of 24 hours. The next day my symptoms were way worse, especially the edema. This is when I realized that what was causing all my issues was the adhesive used in the tape (the electropads were 3M as well), which was being absorbed through my lips into my body, and causing these symptoms. I stopped using the tape almost a month ago and I'm really happy to say that all of the symptoms have gradually disappeared! Just wanting to warn people of this potential consequence. However, I did in fact experience better sleep, so if anyone knows of a more natural alternative to keeping the mouth closed during sleep I'm all ears.
Gelatine on sheet, cut a small piece, less than 1 square centimeter and wet your lips for gluing lips together; when you wakeup be careful, you have to melt down the gelatine with saliva before open your mouth
Wow that's a really creative solution, thanks angelica :D I was considering buying one of those ridiculous-looking chin straps but this sounds much better
It sounds like you are having blockage somewhere in your nose, sinus or throat. Have you had an ENT check you tonsils/ adenoids for growth? Ergonomic Pillow? Allergies? Diet?
did the doctor explained to u that u might be more prone in getting those symptoms or those symptoms can happen to anyone using it?
I'd go for a chin strap to keep the jaws together personally. Be wary of the suggestion if you suffer from TMD though, it could worsen the symptoms if you do.
I absolutely have to mouth tape. My Mandibular Advancement Device is sort of bulky and without mouth taping I would drool like a fool!
I never knew this; luckily I do breath through my nose.
thank you
trying tonight

I just started using CPAP about 2 weeks ago and haven't been able to keep the mask on through the night, due to the air aressure and humidity. Feels like I'm suffocating and hyperventilating. I finally realized I am also a mouth breather, which has caused me all kinds of problems, from waking multiple times to having parched mouth all the time. Nothing's worse, though, than waking up gagging, especially when I sleep on my back. I was a grinder, as well, until I started wearing a night guard. That turned into just clenching my jaws extremely hard. I am hoping the CPAP will help with the clenching, but I think taping might be the best thing yet for solving the other problems. With only a vertical strip of paper tape holding my lips closed, I sleep through the night. I have never once remove the tape in the middle of the night. I haven't been yawning all day. Tonight I will try sleeping with just the tape on.
Same here but i persevered putting tape over the mouth..getting really good with the mask ...good luck!
Try the "nasal pillow" and tape shut. Works great.
3 years later, how did it go?
@@nunodfes2 I switched to the Phillips DreamWear mask, which I like a lot. But I haven't used CPAP for more than a year since the machine was recalled. I am sleepy, tired, and yawny during the day, so I know I am waking up a lot at night. Meanwhile, I'm waiting for the CPAP replacement.
@@jayjacqueline615 My boyfriend is off the machine too. He has an issue in his lungs. I would stay off that machine. We go for a scan on Monday. I think taping could help us/him. I know I sleep with my mouth open. Not good. I hope you get your replacement machine soon. I heard that the chip shortage is making it take a long time.
Ive been using 1-1/4" masking tape for 4 years mainly since I started wearing a night guard. Tape necer cones off and is easily painlessly removed
Saya sudah mencoba selama 3 kali, dan setiap bangun tidur menjadi lebih segar, sebelum pakai penutup mulut dulu setiap malam bangun karena mulut kering, terima kasih
I mouth vertically instead of horizontally. It does allow you to breath if needed without taking off the tape. It also doesn't make me gag
I've only just started mouth-taping, having realised I was a mouth-breather and happening upon the Buteyko method purely by chance. I use the same tape you recommend. It's astonishing how much better my voice is first thing!
How has your voice changed?
@@abdullahchhab2325 It sounds clearer and much less croaky and dehydrated.
@@AmandaJYoungs that's excellent. Are you still mouth-taping? Any other benefits?
@@abdullahchhab2325 Yes I am. Not that I can think of - I did it purely for improvements to my voice. I suppose maybe I am awake and functioning mentally more quickly than I was, but that really is all I can think of. Hope that helps.
@@AmandaJYoungs it does. Thank you!
Dr. Burhenne, Thank you for this information. I have an 8yo mouthbreathing ADHD boy, and I know it will be extremely difficult to get him to do exercises and breath through his nose. Is mouth taping at night enough to retrain your body to breathe through your nose while awake?
Dr Mark, someone said that polygraph is an option for mouth taping. What do you think?
I've been taping for 7 months now with great results.
I had a sleep test about two years back. The results were bad and I was awarded a CPAP and hated it instantly. Heard about taping the mouth and switching pillows to one where it's comfy to lie with the head slightly tilted backwards so that the chin don't fall down on the chest. I feel so much better that my doc has agreed to take another sleep test to see if my snoring and apnea has decreased. Since years I also use a tilted bed (Declined Bed Therapy).
Which pillow did you get?
@@amybeard2054 One of those sculpted tempur like things. Tested a few different ones in a store. The older type, those with a lower middle and higher at the edges, don't work for me. I found one that is formed with cut-outs for the neck, and then I cut away some more foam to make it suit me exactly.
I drool like an idiot when I sleep so there's another great reason to do this. Liked
Don’t want to blow your mind, but drooling is a common indicator of parasites. We all have them. An excellent parasite cleanse is by Systemic Formulas. Do it properly and you will probability stop drooling. You may need to do several rounds of cleanse and then maybe once or twice a year. Also, itchy ears and eye crud in the morning are signs of parasites.
If I find out that I’m mouth breathing, and that I tape my mouth to sleep better, will I have to do it all my life ? Or will my brain learn to nose breathe and correct its habits, so that way I don’t need mouth tape anymore ?
yes ! And for people who have trouble keeping their type on try the following:
1. Wash your nose, learn from a neti specialist
2. Try practicing pranayama
3. Check if you have inflammation with the nose cartilage (especially if you wear heavy glasses), if so go see a Tcm specialist to sort it out
Happy nose breathing everyone !
Ty for this
Thank you so much for your video Sỉr.👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏
can i use the same tape you mentioned every night?
Make sure to place petroleum jelly or Chapstick before taping :) it'll help peeling a lot easier
It prevents gripping of tape dont do it. 3M tape can be removed easily
BRO SOMETHING CRAZY HAPPEN TO ME! I WAS A MOUTHBREATHER AND AS A KID VERY ATTRACTIVE, IM 14 NOW AND STARTED TO MEW 1 MONTH AGO, MY MOUTH WAS NOT DRY WHEN I WOKE UP (I WAS BREATHING TROUGH MY NOSE) I STARTED TO MOUTH BREATH AND INSTANTLY WOKE UP FOR 1 SEC AND STARTED TO MEW AGAIN!

tongue posture. resting your tongue on the roof of your mouth and keeping lips sealed and teeth slightly touching to promote healthy airway and facial growth. look up mike mew on youtube and you’ll see it more in detail
Wish I did. :(
The tape comes off about 50 percent of the time, I just take it off in my sleep unconsciously sometimes.
When I was younger I did sometimes breath through my mouth. But I am told I mouth breathing at night off and on, as well as snore.
I'm trying to get used to taping my mouth because breathing through your mouth at night is terrible for your oral health. All those times I woke up with a nasty feeling in my mouth wasn't acid reflux, it was mouth breathing.
Great advice 👍🏾 I did tape my mouth for few days and worked well. I had 7 hour sleep. Question: Do I still need to do sleep study for apnea check up?
I mouth tape every night, I wake up at the same time every morning at 3 AM and have to re-tape.. then I go back to sleep and I wake up at five and it’s still taped🙌🏻
I use a soft fabric circular headband. Its a bit stetchy too. I use it with CPAP mask/headset.
Thank you sir
I would like to try out for the first time but then came up with a question, Do I need to change my pillow? for sleeping ? my pillow shape is contour , cervical one by the tempurpedic. Thanks for the helpful information.
I have been diagnosed with perioral dermatitis and I think my drooling at night is the cause of this. I wear invisalign braces also and I'm almost positive that I am mouth breathing at night. I am going to try this. The red around my lips is bothering me and think this is worth a try.
i have been thinking to taping my mouth since a long a go, and i did it. But before i taped my mouth, i thought this would kill me. But it didn't!!! I did this everyday, and i hope i can breath with my mouth close while sleeping without taping my mouth.
this is awesome to hear.
Hi Doc! agreed! that mouth breathing is bad. but do you think there will be improvement if i keep using mouth tape. and there will be a time when my breathing will be used to through nose an ill not need mouth tape? Thanks n advance! for such amazing information! :)
I have adhd, had many teeth and throat issues so i will give it a try for sure
Awesome! Let me know what you think after you've given it a few days!
@@askthedentist I tried it a few days. The tape was always gone when I woke up. I will try normal tape soon which is more adhesive than my current paper tape.
@@AntonioDal. Hey there! Micropore tape and Somnifix are my favorites... if the tape is still off in the morning, it's a sign that your mouth-breathing has caused the tape to remove.
Bro I have the same problem...could you say me how are you now doing that, I will appreciate you ;)
HAHAHA I've never thought this was effective before. not until I ask Kriss ai about this, Mouth taping is a practice where a person tapes their mouth shut during sleep to encourage nasal breathing. I try it on my husband and then Wow. it indeed helps improve his sleep quality, reduce snoring, and prevent dry mouth.

Hi Doctor, is masking tape appropriate?
Is this safe if we have sleep apnea? Would it worsen our grinding/clenching at night if we get less air in our body?
Can I just use a regular tape?
You are a quality man. You know more cavities happen with dry mouth yet unlike most American doctors you are trying to prevent this, preventing yourself from making more money. Thanks. I've been taking for 15 years on and off.
I'm 61 years old and I'm definitely a mouth breather while sleeping but also have hay fever so get nasally choked up through the night. I'm just going to carry on being mouth breather lol x
Did that work for someone who slept the whole life with open mouth? If yes how long did you use the tape till you closed your mouth also without tape ?
Can it be used with a deviated septum and hard to breathe through nose, but tolerable?
This sounds very simple . I think this could very easily prevent the use of one of those crazy CPAP machines .
Nope - must use your CPAP
@@LaineSterlingHale not always entirely true. Nasal breathing helps a lot of obstructive sleep apnea people..
hello - can I use 3m medipore soft cloth surgical tape? it's wider and covers better in one tape not lots of bits of tape, can get a big roll and it would last a while.
What are tips for a bearded guy that wants to mouth tape and not shave off his beard? Special tape, chin strap, something else?
Hi doctor, I just want to ask that sometime I am half asleep and I can feel that I breath through noses, but my mouth just open unconsciously. It’s like, I make sure my mouth is closed and when I almost asleep I notice my mouth is opened. Then my mind wake up a little and make sure mouth is closed, and same thing happen again. BTW I normally sleep with supine position
My issue is I can't breathe "fast enough" via nose because the passage ways are a lot smaller than mouth. How do I combat this issue?
May need to see an ENT. There is a surgical option to open the airway if necessary
To anyone still seeing this, order kinesiology tape. Sticks and forms well, and comes off easy without gunk in the morning
So, let me get this straight... So, being born with horrible allergies (all seasonal pollen, dust, pet animal dander, and God only knows what else) led me to being a mouth breather and having parents who didn't care (or know, or both), led me to having horrible lifelong Sleep Apnea (which wasn't diagnosed until I was 35) and is actually the cause of my having ADHD?
Now for the ironic funny part, I've been trying to grow a beard {(because of my underdeveloped/narrow lower jaw/chin (which I learned from this video is a result of my life long mouth breathing due to bad allergies)} and wanted to cover it up... But the chin strap I need to wear for my Sleep Apnea destroys the chin hairs of my beard were I want them the most... I talked to an Orthodontist in my early 30's, he said it would take breaking my lower jaw in 4 places, 2 years of work, and $50,000 to fix my lower jaw... Which I couldn't afford, let's see if I can fix things with some Gorilla tape... Which seems to work on everything else...
Excellent video... This should be in a video collection somewhere titled "How to be a good parent"...
We need an update
