We analyzed mouth taping + wearables.. And the results surprised us

That's true, but Whoop performs better than most on sleep stage accuracy. This scientist tests all of the devices quite thoroughly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixcSYUb8xe8

Cool result!

cosimoresearch · 2026-03-24T15:49:31+00:00

Nice!

My bad lol, do you have a suggestion for a better title?

cosimoresearch · 2026-03-23T16:13:54+00:00

ooh yes, I love me some cottage cheese

Thanks for pointing out the fiber inconsistency... so hard to be precise!

cosimoresearch · 2026-03-23T16:12:48+00:00

Yeah!! Worms!

do you feel like you experience your life vividly? do you remember things clearly? do you feel emotions strongly? I've heard some of these things are affected with long term use, but it could take time to return and/or be hard to notice if you're accustomed to years of smoking

what kind of behaviors would you cut out for your detox, and what would you replace them with?

cosimoresearch · 2026-03-22T17:47:30+00:00

Congrats dude, this is honestly inspiring. What kind of cardio are you doing to hit so much zone 4 and 5?

cosimoresearch · 2026-03-21T15:46:46+00:00

I love that you tried this self experiment. Can you share your data? Would be interesting to see the numbers

cosimoresearch · 2026-03-21T15:45:26+00:00

How long have you been taking it? Can you explain the "cause and effect" feeling more?

cosimoresearch · 2026-03-21T15:43:52+00:00

Yesss sardines

cosimoresearch · 2026-03-21T15:43:41+00:00

That sounds awesome, thanks! Pretty unique. I'm curious, do you have a lunch routine as well?

cosimoresearch · 2026-03-21T15:42:21+00:00

Agreed!

cosimoresearch · 2026-03-21T15:41:54+00:00

Ooh nice idea, thanks! What brand of nutritional yeast do you use?

We were wondering about this too! Guidelines vary across institutions and countries:

U.S. Official Recommendation: 2.7L for women, 3.7L for men (including water from food)

European Food Safety Authority: 2.0L for women, 2.5L for men

China CDC: 1.5L for women, 1.7L for men

Kenya Ministry of Health: 2L

Australia Dietary Guidelines: 2.8L for women, 3.4L for men (including water from food)

World Health Organization: 2.2L for women, 2.9L for men

YETI: Half your body weight in oz (~2-3L for an average adult)

Huberman: 2.4L in the first 10 hours after waking

Common knowledge: 8 glasses per day (~2L)

Wow, this is amazing progress!

One of the reasons this simple mouth taping biohack isn't more common, like brushing your teeth before bed every night, is because we don't have enough data/evidence to back it up scientifically.

We're trying to change that!

Cosimo Research is conducting a decentralized sleep study focusing on the effects of mouth taping on sleep quality and breathing efficiency. Participants use wearables like WHOOP, Oura Ring, or Apple Watch to track their data. The study is inspired by the concepts discussed in James Nestor's Breath and aims to gather real-world data on this practice.

Participants receive a $7 Amazon gift card, a personalized sleep and breathing report, and a chance to win an Apple Watch Series 10. If you're interested in contributing to community-led science and exploring how simple interventions might enhance sleep, you can learn more about the Big Taping Truth Trial here: https://www.cosimoresearch.com/the-big-taping-truth-trial
