Sleep patches pose health risks
Recent studies have found that sleep patches marketed to prevent snoring and drooling by keeping the mouth closed may pose a risk, as there is insufficient scientific evidence regarding their effectiveness or safety. A comprehensive review indicates that these products do not treat sleep breathing disorders and can cause issues such as difficulty breathing and skin irritation, especially in individuals with nasal congestion or respiratory conditions. Additionally, mouth breathing resulting from nasal blockage is not resolved by simply closing the mouth. Therefore, they are not recommended for people with sleep apnea, allergies, respiratory disorders, or children. It is important to consult a doctor to determine the cause of mouth opening during sleep and address the underlying issues affecting breathing.
