TikTokers warned against taping their mouths shut for sleep in bizarre trend TikTok: LexFiishTikTokers are going against the advice of doctors as they continue to tape their mouths up at night in a bid to achieve a good night\u2019s sleep. We all know there is nothing better than getting in a solid eight hours of sleep, and TikTokers are blissfully chasing that same feeling. However, the lengths some TikTok users are going to are cause for concern. Doctors are warning against a strange trend that has TikTokers taping up their mouths \u2013 but only when it\u2019s time to hit the hay. Doctors are warning TikTokers against the dangerous trend According to Dr. Aarti Grover from the Center for Sleep Medicine at Tufts Medical Center, applying tape to your mouth to reduce snoring and the like is highly \u201cproblematic.\u201d \u201cImagine you have an obstruction in your nasal cavity either from allergies or you\u2019re congested and on top of that you tape your mouth\u201d explained Grover. Grover added that \u201cit could be problematic because you\u2019re not getting enough air in from your nasal or your oral cavity.\u201d Dr. Kathryn Boling of the Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore added that the trend is a \u201cterrible idea.\u201d \u201cThere are a lot of TikTok trends I see where I am like, goodness gracious, where do these things come from?\u201d added Boling. TikTokers such as LexFiish are advocating for the unique trend that is intended to give people \u201cthe deepest sleep they\u2019ll ever experience\u201d but for obvious reasons, taping the mouth reduces oxygen flow \u2013 which can be troubling in a number of cases. For now, if you\u2019re struggling to squeeze in those precious hours of sleep, it\u2019s probably best just to snore away to your heart\u2019s content.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
