[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do it as well and it works great.  I used to not be able to sleep on my back because mouse would open up and I would wake up startled with a lack of air feeling.  
Mouth taping has fixed that and supposedly body regulates o2/co2.nitrogen ratio in order to keep nasal passages de-congested.  I was concerned beforehand about nose getting congested, but it has actually become better.  Supposedly I do not snore anymore either.[/quote]

Yes, the body won't let you die from lack of oxygen without a fight. It would wake you up.  So many people have undiagnosed sleep apnea because sleep studies are so unpleasant and expensive. It occurs naturally as we age as our muscles etc don't stay as tight. This is why losing weight won't cure sleep apnea. If you suspect you have apnea one cheaper way to test things is to buy a recording oxygen monitor. You can buy cheap ones on Amazon. I bought a ring that was better quality. They record your oxygen saturation while you wear the sensor on your finger. Wear it overnight and then look at the data in the morning. If you have several sessions of oxygen desaturation, I would get a sleep study done. [/quote]
