Frequently asked questions about sleep aids

Mouth tape is a hypoallergenic patch that gently keeps your lips closed at night, so you automatically breathe through your nose. Nasal breathing filters, warms, and humidifies the air, stimulates nitric oxide production, and promotes deep sleep. Many users notice less snoring, less dry mouth, and more energy during the day.

Yes, provided you can breathe through your nose. The tape gently holds your lips together; if you have a stuffy nose, you can always breathe past the tape. Do not use mouth tape for severe nasal congestion, an active cold, or diagnosed sleep apnea without consulting your doctor. If necessary, combine with nasal strips for maximum nasal breathing.

In many cases, yes. Mouth breathing is one of the main causes of snoring: the air passes at a higher speed along the loose tissue in the throat, causing vibrations. By keeping your mouth closed with tape, you force nasal breathing, which reduces or stops snoring at the source.

Good mouth tape stays on all night, even if you move a lot in your sleep. The medical adhesive layer adheres firmly to dry, clean skin and leaves no residue when removed. Tip: apply the tape to clean, dry skin without lip balm or cream.

An anti-snoring mouthpiece (also called an MRA or MAD) keeps your lower jaw a few millimetres forward during sleep. This keeps your airway open and prevents your tongue from falling back against the throat wall, which is the most common mechanical cause of snoring. The result: fewer to no vibrations, quieter sleep.

Most users get used to it within 3 to 5 nights. Our snoring brace max is adjustable, so you can adjust the forward position yourself. Start with the minimum setting and gradually increase. Slight jaw stiffness on the first few mornings is normal and will disappear quickly. Our snoring brace comfort is softer and therefore more comfortable. View them here.

Primarily for people who snore because their tongue or lower jaw retracts during sleep. This is the case for the majority of snorers. An anti-snoring mouthpiece is less suitable for severe overweight as the sole cause, or for diagnosed central sleep apnea. Are you unsure? Combine with mouth tape for a double effect.

Even minimal light suppresses the production of melatonin, the hormone that regulates your sleep-wake cycle. A sleep mask blocks 100% of the light, helping you fall asleep faster, sleep deeper, and wake up less often. Especially effective with street lighting, early sunrise, or screen use before bed.

Three things: complete light blockage (no light gaps at the nose or temples), no pressure on your eyes (choose a contour that allows space for your eyelids), and a breathable material. Adjustable elastic straps or a Velcro closure ensure the mask stays in place, even for side sleepers.

Do you sleep on your side? Choose a low profile that won't press against your pillow. Do you suffer from dry eyes? Choose a sleep mask that does not make contact with your eyelids. Do you travel a lot? Choose a foldable model with a storage pouch. Material (silk, bamboo, foam) is a personal preference; fit is more important. View our sleep masks here.

Ambient noise, even below your conscious hearing threshold, disrupts your sleep cycles and prevents deep sleep. Earplugs reduce noise exposure by 20 to 30 dB, enough to muffle street noise, a snoring partner, or early risers without making you miss your alarm clock.

Soft silicone earplugs that attenuate enough (20–30 dB) but do not fully isolate. Foam earplugs attenuate more but feel uncomfortable for side sleepers due to pressure. Our sleep earplugs are specifically designed for all-night comfort: low profile, hypoallergenic material, reusable.

Yes, provided you keep them clean. Clean reusable earplugs with lukewarm water after each use and let them dry before storing them. Replace silicone earplugs when they lose their shape. If you have sensitive ear canals or frequent ear infections: consult your general practitioner.
