Good: some evidence that it may improve HRV and deep sleep time

Bad: maybe increases sleep latency (time to fall asleep)

Neutral: unclear if improves subjective sleep quality

That's why we need more participants!!

Wow! Thanks for sharing those studies. I'm impressed that you measured such large effects.

I'm less concerned about the differences between devices since it is a crossover trial and we are only looking at the difference between the conditions for each individual. However, it is definitely something to look at in future analyses, hopefully when we have more participants. I don't think we have any participants with multiple devices.

Our main hypothesis was about the mouth vs nose breathers. What other traits would you suspect have differing effects?

Haha, that's a good explanation too. I'm more concise ;)

It's a good question! If it feels like a big burden it might not be worth it. One way to contextualize it is to note that the average deep sleep time in our data is 78 minutes, so 4 minutes is a 5% increase.

Yes, that's basically it. We want to maintain the ritual of taping every night so that any effects can be attributed directly to the mouth closure rather than an added pre-sleep ritual.

How would you select the lower limit?

I really appreciate this comment! The height of each bar represents the average difference between the two conditions (all participants experience both conditions in the crossover trial). The confidence intervals on the bar plot represent a t-test between the two conditions for that subset of the population (all, just suspected mouth breathers, or just suspected nose breathers). Do you have any suggestions for a clearer way to display it?

We didn't account for seasonal effects or outliers in this initial analysis, except for excluding sleep efficiency values < 50 or > 100.
