Professor's Unconventional Sleep Hack: Taping Mouth Shut

0:00Professor Tim Specter, the genetic epidemiology expert from King's College, London, swears by a strict nighttime routine starting at 10.30 pm. Finally, get solid sleep. The big twist, he taped his mouth shut with medical-grade tape to force nasal breathing. He's battled insomnia since babyhood, unlike his wife who crashes out instantly, so he built his ritual out of necessity. Here dinners, ditching, the phone, a warm bath and winter, some TV, blackout blinds, and earplugs. Poor sleep hits hard, wrapping up risks for heart disease, diabetes, and brain fog, issues that run deep in his family, which is why he preaches. Consistency like it's gospel. The mouth taping stopped his dry mouth wakeups and midnight bathroom runs, transforming his rest, though he admits it ain't glamorous and skips it if. His nose is stuffy. He pros like the sleep foundation call the perks mostly anecdotal with slim research, warning of skin rashes or worse, breathing glitches always.
