I sleep with my mouth open.Its embarrassing.How to overcome this??

Assuming that I'm not a doctor so I can not explain rationally why you sleep with your mouth open, at least let me tell you that I do not find anything strange. Perhaps it might embarrass you, towards other people? I say, What do you care! You sleep as you want, the bottom does not hurt anyone to sleep in that way, I say ok? If you may want to look into this strange "phenomenon", maybe talk to those who understand these things if it. in all the ways I in your place would not consider this as a problem. At least that is my opinion.

There is a helmet type of hat with a chin strap that keeps your jaw closed. I don't know where these helmets are sold or how much they cost. But if you have a good imagination you might be able to make one that buttoned under your chin. Good luck with it!

I agree with dragon. You probably are breathing through your mouth at night. For what ever reason your nose is blocked at night. I have a swelling in one nostril that blocks my nose when I lay down. Try some of those breath right strips. They help me. You can get a sample on line.

If there is nothing medically wrong with you, why should you care? And why are people looking at you while you sleep, are they so desperate for entertainment? If you do have a blockage that makes your body open your mouth you might try those strips that go over your nose to open it up. There is a brand called Breathe Right, if they don't have them there look them up and study how they are made and make one yourself out of tape. That's really all they are, pieces of tape that go on a certain part of your nose and opens up your sinus passages. Only they've given them a fancy name and tacked on a high price! Don't be so self conscious. Tell those people to find a better form of entertainment.

I don't think there's a way to stop it. When you're sleeping, your body becomes relaxed and your jaw will loosen, causing it to open a little. I'm pretty sure that most people sleep like this, especially when they're really tired. I wouldn't worry too much about it. I know that I myself sleep like that and I don't feel embarrassed. Try not to worry about it.

Don`t sleep if there is someone nearby.

put a cork in it lol , my brother sleep with his mouth half open also. As some others say maybe you are breathing through your mouth or you are sleeping on you back .

If you are sleeping that way, I don't know that there's anything you can do to prevent it. You probably just need to learn to live with it. We all do weird stuff when we sleep - snore, talk in our sleep, kick people (lol), but I really don't think it's something we can control. And you shouldn't be embarrassed about it...We all do some kind of weird thing when we sleep. . I would think it would be more embarrassing to be CAUGHT watching someone while they sleep ... LOL.

Hmmm your mouth is open means you wants laddu(sweets) but I also like sweets and dont want to share with anybody hhaha..just kidding. Many time while sleeping in train or bus while traveling our mouth is opened and we not know about this but surrounding people see this and laugh.

its very natural and there is nothing to worry about many people do that even me,i have seen so many doing it,we cant control or get rid of it,but try to close at the time of sleeping alone after that it is uncontrollable

Hello,preethaanju,i used to sleep with my mouth open..now i overcame it..i slept like that because i had fever...so something was there blocking the path...i had this for about 3 to 4 years..now its cured!!i think you might have cold..So go to the doctor..I think this will help you!!!

I think it is usually happened to all of us especially when we are in a deep sleep that's why there is always saliva in our pillows hehe.

It is only natural to sleep with your mouth open by the way. Who ever keeps pointing this out should see themselves when sleeping they probably do the same if not more. (snoring,passing wind,talking) Hahahaha I sometimes wake up still sucking my thumb! Now that's embarrassing. Better to have a great sleep than keep waking up worrying about it. If its not giving you a good sleep then you should worry :0)

It is naturally to open our mouth when we are asleep. It is not something to be embarrassed about. Our mouth opens because our muscles are in a relax state when we are asleep. If you want to minimize the chances of your mouth opening while you are asleep in the public such as train, buses, etc, you can try changing the way you sleep. Maybe you can bend your head down while you sleep, BUT there is a chance of you drooling, so, just be careful. There is not much you can do, it is just a natural habit of human.

Yes,some people do this. It's no big deal. I think snoring is a much bigger problem for most people.

Hello friend, I am also faceing the problem. I don't know it's solution. So I am not helping you. If you know any solution then tell me as soon as possible. Have a nice day.

Well,I have never heard this before.But I think this is very natural.i heard that someone sleep with their eyes open.i think you should explain to them about this.if you want to cure this,i advise you to turn to your doctor for help.anyway,i hope your problem could be solved.
