Common Questions About Tongue Position
Q: "How do I know if my tongue position is correct?"
A: Your tongue should rest gently on the roof of your mouth, about half an inch behind your front teeth, with lips closed and teeth slightly apart. Say “door” outloud and feel where your tongue touches your palate when making the “D” sound. That is the correct spot for your tongue.
Q: "How quickly will I notice improvements?"
A: Many people notice initial improvements in sleep quality within the first two weeks, with significant changes by week 7 of the program.
