Sleep Tape is a gentle, breathable mouth tape for nasal breathing during sleep, designed to help your mouth stay closed at night, supporting nasal breathing during sleep and healthy nighttime breathing habits. It is a simple, practical tool trusted by our community to support healthier nighttime breathing habits.
A good night’s sleep is vital for good health, sustained energy, and overall wellbeing. During sleep, your body naturally shifts toward rest and recovery. Breathing patterns during sleep can influence how rested and refreshed you feel upon waking.
Sleeping with an open mouth often does the opposite. It can contribute to less efficient breathing patterns during sleep, which may affect comfort and rest. This is why breathing through the nose during sleep is so important.
Who Is It For / What It Does
Sleep Tape is for anyone who wants to support comfortable, consistent nasal breathing during sleep. Since it’s difficult to monitor breathing while asleep, Sleep Tape offers gentle guidance by helping the lips stay closed so breathing naturally occurs through the nose.
By supporting nasal breathing during sleep, Sleep Tape helps create conditions associated with calmer, more comfortable sleep, reduce dry mouth, and wake up feeling more rested and refreshed.
Sleep Tape supports healthy breathing habits during sleep and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition.
Specifications
Sleep Tape is made from nonwoven rayon material that is hypoallergenic and latex-free, making it suitable for comfortable skin contact during sleep. Each strip is 9.4 cm × 2.4 cm, sized to comfortably cover the lips and support closed-mouth nasal breathing throughout the night.
All variants use the same gentle, breathable material that supports secure adhesion without irritating the skin.
Material and Care Instructions
Sleep Tape is made from breathable, skin-friendly material suitable for sensitive skin.
Apply to clean, dry lips before sleep. Place the tape horizontally across the lips and remove gently in the morning. If you have sensitive skin, test on a small area first and discontinue use if irritation occurs.

Your mouth tape is the best one for me, and I've tried other kinds. I really seals my mouth without being too difficult to remove in the morning or causing damage to my lips. My snoring app shows much less snoring when I use your tape.
The tape sticks very well and on the other side does not leave any skin reaction, this I was afraid of but it doesn't. Great thing, still in trail mode during the day, haven't start yet in the night.
The sleep tape is very good! I was a little surprised that the sheets only had 5 pieces of tape instead of 7 (a whole week).
I wear them every night, since about ten years ago. They are important to me!!
Wanted it to work. Despite assurances, it doesn’t work with a mustache and beard. I even trimming them both short and shaved about an 1/8th inch strip on upper/lower lip. It lasted way less than a minute.
The tape works very well in terms of adhesion and is sensibly and conveniently packaged.
I have a problem with nasal congestion , particularly during sleep, and so cannot be confident to use it every night.
I bought the tape as a trial and if I can address the congestion will definitely use it regularly.
I have endured many years of early waking - somewhere between 2am and 4.30am and often without being able to return to sleep. A sudden alertness in the system - not anxious or ruminating - simply awake and alert - the locus coeruleus pumping noradrenaline into my system after my nervous system thought I was about to suffocate.
Since SLEEP TAPE - this is not happening!! In one month of daily use - I have had about two early wakings without returning to sleep. On other occasions when I wake (e.g. to go to the bathroom - or waking in the morning at good time - 6.30am) I can feel the difference in my brain rhythms - I'm shifting from delta waves to theta waves in the 'semi-wakefulness' and able (if its early) - to return to sleep - or allow my system to gradually awaken! I'm delighted and feeling SOOOOO much better! My brain now able to do the things its supposed to do - the night time clean up that is so important to health!
The sleep tape is also of excellent quality - sticky enough to stick - not so sticky it leaves a horrible residue - easy to get off and it stays on throughout the night.
Have tried several different sleep tapes and this one is the easiest/most effective for sure. Comes with tons of strips and covers your whole mouth which is the whole point of sleep tape.
Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is a key regulator of human physiology, influencing respiration, oxygen delivery, circulation, blood pH, and nervous system function. This resource presents a curated selection of peer reviewed research on how CO₂ levels shaped by breathing patterns or therapeutic applications affect physiological regulation, without making health or treatment claims.
