Sleeping with your mouth open
Before going to my first sleep study, that in fact such a study before I sleep, I had a problem with my teeth grinding. I do not remember exactly, but I think it was a dentist who told me that I grind my teeth at night. I think they called bruxism. I do not believe That was the case, But I tried and tried to keep his mouth open while I sleep at night, and it must have worked, no more teeth, because I cut my own.
What I did was insteadSleeping with your mouth open, breathing through the mouth large. I suspect that is not bad if you do not sleep. Although I believe it is recommended that breathing through the nose is better.
Why? For several reasons, such as air leaves the nose takes longer and there is a better chance of lungs to extract oxygen. The nose filters the air entering the lungs, which is a good thing that happens when you breathe through your mouth. The onlyThe problem is that I have never been open his mouth with sleep that tomorrow the mouth very dry.
But worse by breathing through the mouth last night was the result of trying to use his nose with a mask that covered only CPAP. On my second night sleep study tech insisted that I tried a mask covers only the my foot (he had a full face mask) could not do, because when I opened my mouth would explode in the air, is avery strange feeling. The technology also tried a strap around my head to close the mouth. He closed his mouth a lot, but there was no way I was going to sleep.
When I got my first CPAP machine, I had a full face mask. 'Was very difficult, and there was more air ducts. Eventually I gave up, who knows
However, if you breathe through your nose, you will definitely an advantage for mouth breathing.
