Performance Air™ Sleep Mouth Tape

Hidden inside the nasal strip (between the adhesive layer and fabric upper) are 3 flexi strips that pull up on the adhesive once applied around the bridge of the nose. The strips pull up towards their original shape while the adhesive pulls the outer layers of your nostril outwards, opening up your nasal passage and increasing air flow.

When sleeping, 30-50% of Australians habitually breathe through their mouths.
Nasal breathing is better for sleep because the nose filters, warms, and humidifies the air before it reaches the lungs. It also naturally produces nitric oxide, which boosts blood circulation and oxygen absorption. Conversely, mouth breathing dries out oral tissues and increases the risk of snoring and sleep apnea.

The use of the nasal strip, particularly when paired with mouth tape to decrease habitual mouth breathing, assists the flow of clean air to the lungs and then onward to the recovering muscles via oxygen rich blood.

Good sleep is the primary driver of muscle recovery. During deep sleep, the body releases growth hormone and boosts blood flow to muscles, which repairs microscopic tears, builds new tissue, and prevents long-term injury. It also suppresses muscle breakdown.

The short version is, better sleep bought on by higher rates of warm, clean air into your lungs, directly converts to oxygen rich blood getting to the muscles
