- Details
How we take in the air can affect the position of our teeth, how we talk, the quality of our sleep, and facial development and growth in children. Mouth breathing is when people can't breathe through their nose, so they take in air through their mouths. People who breathe through their mouths are more likely to develop sleep apnea.
Many of us feel stressed out, overworked, and overstimulated during our daily lives. Breathing in and out through the nose helps us take fuller, deeper breaths, which stimulate the lower lung to distribute greater amounts of oxygen through the body and helps our body enter deep sleep.

Snoring has become a social stigma that no one wants to admit to, even if their spouse provides audio to prove otherwise. We need to be educated on what actually causes the snoring to hopefully change our perception to realize that our significant other is really not snoring to purposefully prevent the other from getting a good night’s sleep. Below is a good starting place to better understand snoring.

If you feel exhausted or have little energy during the day, you’re not alone. Fatigue can be caused by a variety of reasons, including lack of sleep, too much caffeine, or even catching a cold. It can also be caused by underlying medical issues such as mouth breathing and sleep apnea.
Even though everyone gets tired from time to time, constant fatigue can have a negative impact on your quality of life and prevent you from doing things you enjoy.
In most circumstances, fatigue can be alleviated by making changes to your lifestyle, changing your diet, or treating an underlying medical problem.
