Sleeping after opening his mouth becomes a habit of people at times. But it can be not only a habit, but also a sign of any disease or health problem. Normally we should breathe from the nose while sleeping. But if the nose is closed or there is difficulty in breathing, then the person starts breathing through the mouth. Both nose and mouth work to deliver oxygen to our body. But when breathing from the nose, the air reaches the lungs by filtering, while this process does not happen properly when breathing through the mouth. Sleeping for a long time can cause dryness, smell, sore and teeth in the throat.
These reasons can be behind it
One reason for sleeping by opening the mouth can be a crooked of the nose, which is called ‘Devied septum’. In this, the wall between the nose becomes crooked, which can cause a nostril block. Apart from this, the wrongly set of teeth can also cause problems in shutting the mouth.
Sleeping problem in children
Newborn children usually breathe from the nose. If the child is breathing by opening his mouth while sleeping, his nose may be closed or the nose bone may get hurt at birth. If the old children suddenly start breathing, then it can be a sign of the increase of adenoids. Adenoids are small tissues present in the upper part of the throat, which are in the largest size at the age of 2 to 6 years. There may be difficulty in breathing when they swell.
Ways to treat and get rid of habit
Treatment of its reason is necessary to get rid of the habit of sleeping by opening the mouth. If the nose remains closed, use a humidifier or take a nasal spray of salt water. If the problem is of allergy, asthma or sinus infection, then its treatment is necessary.
Mouth Taping: Discussion on social media
Nowadays, doctors on YouTube and social media tell about ‘mouth taping’. In this, light tape or soft patches are applied on the mouth at bedtime, so that the mouth does not open in sleep and make a habit of breathing through the nose. A small study found that mouth taping reduced the problem of snoring and sleeping in sleep to some extent and the problem of sleeping in the day also decreased.
Doctor’s advice
Chest disease and sleep specialist Dr. Vikas Mittal has explained in detail in his video how to taping the mouth taping and what can be useful. Also, he clarified that this remedy is safe only for those people who have no problem on breathing. If someone has sleep apnea, nasal obstruction or other respiratory problems, the mouth taping can be harmful, so if you often sleep openly, do not ignore it. Consult a doctor for knowing the right reason and treatment.
