Mouth tape has become increasingly popular as a solution for mouth-breathing, snoring, and other sleepytime issues. While more research is needed to definitively say that mouth taping is an effective method to combat these symptoms, many people swear by it and say they've experienced benefits. We’ve teamed up with Dream Recovery to give you a comprehensive guide to mouth taping—including its benefits, risks, and whether or not it really works to stop snoring.
