Hey Justin that's awesome.

I begun to tap my mouth during sleeping two months ago and i also felt great improvements in my sleep and energy levels. However i reached that practice due to my teeth grinding.

Researching about what causes teeth grinding i discover the Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS) through Steven Lin, as a potential cause. People suffering UARS have airways that collapse more easily --> interrupted sleep, activation of sympathetic nervous system --> open mouth to improve air collection and teeth grind.

The point is that he also focuses his attention on tongue position and voice exercises as important factors to improve nasal airways and its collection, i consider especially relevant tongue position due to its direct contact to the palate and nasal airways. What do you think?

I also would like to ask you and bring the discussion about, Is desirable keep the 5.5 and deep breath always? For example in situations where you need a huge focus/attention or have to solve as fast as possible a problem (even mentally), Would this type of breathing decreases mind performance, or in contrast would improve focus and clarity?

Un abrazo ;)
