Do you experience low sleep quality and are looking for ways to improve your sleep? Many people experience this, something that has prompted medical professionals to come up with various sleep treatment options. Sleep accessories, such as sleep guard strips, essential oil diffusers, weighted blankets, and pillows are some of these treatment options.
While all these play an important role in improving sleep quality, we’re going to focus on strip guard strips. These sleeping accessories use safe adhesive to keep the mouth closed during sleep, encouraging nasal breathing. They help you mitigate issues associated with mouth breathing, such as snoring, dry mouth, and bad breath. If you have any of these sleep disorders and would like to overcome them, place your sleep guard strips order here.
With our sleep guards, you’ll experience all the benefits of nasal breathing, including better air filtration and improved sleep quality. You can use these strips in various instances, including:

1. Addressing Snoring Problems
Snoring disrupts your sleep and that of your partner. This can result in undesirable effects such increased irritability, anxiety, impaired attention, and slow memory consolidating, among others. Snoring mainly occurs when your airways are partially obstructed, causing the relaxed tissues in the throat to vibrate. There are several factors that contribute to this obstruction:
- Excess weight, which can lead to bulky throat tissue, narrowing the airway and increasing the likelihood of snoring
- Age, alcohol consumption, and certain medications can relax throat and tongue muscles, allowing them to collapse into the airway
- Structural problems such as a long soft palate or uvula, deviated septum, or enlarged tonsils can restrict airflow
- Conditions like allergies, sinus infections, or nasal polyps can block airflow through the nose, exacerbating snoring
- Sleeping on one’s back can cause the tongue to fall back into the throat, further narrowing the airway
Our sleep guard strips help you minimize snoring caused by these factors by sealing your mouth throughout the night, forcing you to breathe through the nose.
2. Mitigating Mouth Breathing Issues
If you have nasal obstruction resulting from congestion, then you’re more likely to breathe through the mouth than the nose. Nasal congestion can occur from allergies, such as cold or sinus infection. Other instances that you might breathe through the mouth include:
- Structural problems such as a deviated septum, enlarged tonsils, or adenoids
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), which is characterized by repeated airway blockage during sleep
- Habit of mouth breathing, especially if you have experienced nasal obstruction in the past
Our sleep guard strips help by retraining the body to breathe through the nose rather than the mouth. By applying these gentle strips over your mouth during sleep, you encourage nasal breathing. The nasal system filters and humidifies the air, reducing the allergens entering your lungs and promoting oxygen absorption.
3. Combating Bad Breath
Breathing through the mouth decreases saliva production leading to a dry mouth environment which promotes bacterial growth. A dry mouth doesn’t have the ability to cleanse itself, something that results in bad breath. Failure to self-clean the bacteria that breaks down food particles produces foul-smelling compounds, which result in bad breath.
Our sleep guard strips can help you mitigate these effects by promoting nasal breathing. They achieve this by encouraging you to breathe through the nose, which in turn helps maintain moisture in the mouth. This moisture is crucial for saliva production as it washes away food particles and neutralizes acids produced by bacteria, thereby reducing the risk of bad breath.
4. Improving Sleep Quality
DreamZen’s sleep guard strips are effective in improving sleep quality for people who find it difficult sleeping peacefully throughout the night. The strip encourages nasal breathing by keeping the mouth closed, in which case you get optimal oxygen uptake and reduced sleep disturbances.
Nasal breathing filters, warms, and humidifies the air, which promotes better respiratory health and minimizes issues like snoring and sleep apnea. It’s also responsible for increased nitric oxide production, which improves oxygen transport in the body and has antimicrobial properties.
By encouraging nasal airflow, our sleep guard strips help maintain a clear airway, leading to quieter sleep and less disruption. Testimonials from our clients indicate that our product is effective in improving sleep quality and reducing daytime fatigue.
5. Combining with Other Oral Appliances
If you’re under any sleep disorder treatments, such as Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines, you can use our sleep guard strips as a complementary strategy. Combining the two approaches improves your sleep quality by addressing sleep-related issues. It also helps with:
- Improved Nasal Breathing: Our sleep guard strips encourage nasal breathing, enhancing the effectiveness of CPAP therapy by ensuring that the air delivered through the mask is optimally utilized. This may lead to better oxygenation and reduced pressure settings on the CPAP machine.
- Reduced Snoring: By promoting nasal breathing, mouth strips can help reduce snoring, a common issue for those with OSA. This can improve sleep quality for both the individual and their partner.
- Enhanced Sleep Quality: The combination of mouth taping and CPAP may lead to a more restful night’s sleep. Nasal breathing is associated with better sleep architecture, potentially reducing awakenings and improving overall sleep efficiency.
Final Thoughts
Our sleep guard strips promote nasal breathing during sleep, potentially improving your overall sleep quality. By keeping the mouth closed during the night, they also help alleviate issues associated with mouth breathing, such as, snoring, bad breath, and dry mouth.
