Mouth taping is the practice of sleeping with one's lips held shut by a strip of surgical tape to prevent mouth breathing during sleep. The practice gained widespread popularity as a wellness trend on social media in the 2020s. While proponents claim it offers various health benefits, such as improved sleep quality and reduced snoring, these claims lack robust scientific verification.
