There’s a new viral trend on TikTok that people swear is helping them sleep better. It’s called mouth taping. Videos using the hashtag #mouthtaping have garnered nearly 25 million views.

And people aren’t just talking about improved sleep, other people claim it gives them more energy, a sharper jawline, improved skin, mood, and digestion, reduced brain fog, and even fixing cavities, gum disease, and bad breath!

But is mouth taping just a trend? Does it really help you sleep better? And the overarching question - is it actually good for you?

Do you struggle to get a good night’s sleep? How often do you obtain adequate REM Sleep? Is entering the REM sleep cycle critical for your health and well-being? How long do these cycles last? What factors can interfere with your REM sleep cycles? What can you do to increase the amount of REM sleep you experience nightly? 

These might all be questions that you have wondered or heard people discuss before, as the importance of sleep has been a trending topic of medical discussion for decades. Today, I am going to be answering all of these questions and getting to the bottom of the importance of REM sleep, why you should prioritize your sleep, and how you can increase your REM cycles and improve your nightly sleep routine. 

The top two New Year’s resolutions people make are 1) become more active and 2) lose weight; very common responses when you ask individuals “so what are your New Year’s resolutions?” These are great goals to set for yourself, but let’s face it, they can be TOUGH to achieve. Primal Life Organics can help ensure your weight loss goal can be achieved.

According to UW Medicine, some reasons as to why it is so difficult to lose weight is because “when you begin to lose weight, your body fights to defend the old, higher body weight.” Also, “genes and environment play a huge role in whether or not someone gains weight.” These both sound like things that are out of your control, but you have the ability to overcome your body’s defense mode, change your environment, as well as practice tactics to change the way your genes hinder your weight loss abilities.
