You're absolutely right. 'Close Your Mouth' by Patrick McKeown was revolutionary for me. Buteyko breathing is the real deal, unfortunately it is largely unknown in the modern American medical community.
- amelius 4y agoThis makes me wonder if sleep bruxism and sleep apnea are mutually exclusive.
- silicon_wally 4y agoWhat makes you wonder that?
- amelius 4y agoBecause with bruxism you typically have your mouth closed (I see no other way to grind your teeth).
- globular-toast 4y agoI don't seem to be able to simultaneously breathe through my mouth and grind my teeth. They could still happen during different parts of the sleep cycle, though. Perhaps grinding during light sleep and mouth breathing during deep sleep?
- schwartzworld 4y agoNo, bruxism is highly correlated with apnea. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/bruxism/symptoms-causes/syc-20356095#:~:text=Sleep%20bruxism%20is%20considered%20a,in%20breathing%20(sleep%20apnea) https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/bruxism/sympt....
