The Science of Breathing
The Age Old Secret to Your Best Sleep
Validated By Research
Your Sleep Is Under Attack
Sleep is by far the most important indicator of health. According to UC Davis Medical Center, quality sleep enhances focus, energy and memory. It allows the body to repair itself, it supports your immune system and even reduces risk of injury. Low quality sleep can have the opposite effect.
33%
of adults have trouble falling or staying asleep.
58%
of adults feel tired after waking up.
61%
of adults are mouth breathers at night.
Sleep problems weren’t so common throughout history. Modern society brought many benefits at the expense of our sleep. It made us forget the natural habits that kept our ancestors healthy. Nose breathing is one of them.
Breathe The Way Nature Intended
Most people assume there isn’t much of a difference between nose and mouth breathing, however that couldn’t be further from the truth. The human nose was designed for breathing whereas the mouth was designed for eating, drinking and speaking.
Research shows your lungs prefer warm, humid air to maximize oxygen absorption. When you mouth breath, you inhale cold, dry air full of germs and pollutants. This reduces your oxygen intake.
Your nose plays a crucial role in optimizing your breathing. When air passes through your nasal cavity, it’s naturally warmed, humidified, and filtered, preventing pollutants from entering your lungs. This results in increased oxygen intake by up to 20%.
Impacts of Breathing on Sleep
In 2018, journalist James Nestor conducted an experiment at Stanford Medical Center to study the effects of breathing on sleep. For 10 days, they breathed exclusively through their mouths. The results were striking: they began snoring uncontrollably, developed sleep apnea, and saw a noticeable rise in their blood pressure.
After 10 days of exclusively breathing through their nose, snoring and sleep apnea vanished. Their energy levels increased, their focus improved and they performed better. It’s remarkable how a small change can create a profound transformation.

How to Know if You’re a Mouth Breather
The human body usually starts mouth breathing when it can’t breathe through its nose. It’s mostly caused by obstructed nasal airways either because of congestion, inflammation or a deviated septum. While there are obvious signs of mouth breathing at night, it can be tricky to know for sure. Here are 7 signs you might be a mouth breather:
Modern Problem. Modern Solution.
You may find it hard to breathe through your nose because your nasal passage is too narrow. Nose strips fix that for you. They contain a rigid spine that springs outwards to open up your airways.
From marathon runners to everyday dads, studies have shown nasal strips to be an effective solution to reduce snoring, improve sleep quality and enhance performance.
Millions of people have been using nasal strips since 1991. We just made them better.
