We put our product to the test. WHOOP wearables tracked taped vs. untaped sleeps. We measured REM, deep sleep and wakeups. See how mouth taping changed sleep — overnight.

+ 10% impact on Recovery

Mouth taping boosted recovery, improved heart rate variability and lowered resting heart rate — key indicators of overnight repair and readiness.

positive impact

+ 8% impact on Sleep Performance

Users noted sleep performance improved by up to 8% on taped nights — consistent sleep performance leads to enhanced physical recovery, cognitive clarity, and next-day readiness.

positive impact

+ 28 minutes Deep Sleep

Participants gained an average of 28 extra minutes in REM and Slow Wave Sleep — the most restorative stages — while increasing overall sleep efficiency by 10%.

positive impact

40% reduction in Wake Events

Up to 40% fewer overnight wake-ups (meaning less tossing and turning) led to more consistent sleep cycles and uninterrupted physiological recovery.

“I didn’t realize I could actually wake up and feel good. I wasn’t dragging, I wasn’t anxious, I just felt… steady. My Recovery score was up, but honestly, the real shift was in how I showed up the next day feeling overall better.”

I felt more comfortable wearing the tape all night than I expected, J said he couldn't hear me grinding my teeth last night so that’s positive

Woke up feeling less than 50% and my recovery score says the same. My sleep was a bit all over the place.

FEELING GOOD TODAY! Up before my alarm, I’m heading for a run.

Missed my tape last night, noticed I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about my mouth being open and consciously trying to breathe through my nose

“I recently got my nose fixed so I could breathe better and the addition of using mouth tape overnight got me more green days; which if you’re a WHOOP wearer you will appreciate! I woke up feeling noticeably clear-headed on mouth taped mornings — it was easier to think, I wasn’t groggy, and I stopped hitting snooze.”

Woke up early, feeling good, relaxed and noticeably rested

No tape definitely waking up with dry mouth and thirsty

More energy to play with my son in the evenings... maybe because I’m getting better sleep?

Felt disrupted last night and woke up groggy, wanted to keep sleeping
