Orthosomnia is anxiety from obsessively tracking sleep data, worsening sleep. Focus on how you feel and use relative data for improvements. Can mouth taping improve sleep quality? Mouth taping promotes nasal breathing, reducing dry mouth or snoring. It's safe to try for a week, but consult a professional if you have sleep apnea. How much slow-wave sleep should I aim for?
