I Taped My Mouth Shut Every Night For 2 Years—Here's How It Changed My Life
I was one of many Americans who struggled with a sleep disorder that eventually turned into insomnia. I tried all the hacks under the sun to improve my sleep, but there was one in particular that made such a huge difference that I still do it every single night: tape my mouth shut to go to sleep.
Insomnia is one of the worst things to experience and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Things got so bad a couple years ago that I went a few months straight without sleeping much at all every single night. I decided to take a deep dive into the science of sleep and change many daily habits that were stopping me from sleeping well. I changed my eating and workout schedule, I invested in a new pillow and sheets, I bought a plush eye mask and blackout curtains, and committed to going to sleep and waking up at the same time every day and night.
