I wasn't sure what to expect the first night I broke out the tape. Thanks to some handy instructions, I knew exactly where to place the individually packaged strip, but it still took me a little while to adjust to the sensation of having my lips taped together. I could definitely still breathe through the small vented panel, but it took some getting used to.
I used the Sleep Cycle app to help track my movements and sleep quality each night, which allowed me to look back and see an estimate of how restful (or restless) I'd been. I usually hover in the 70 to 80 percent sleep quality territory, so a dip into the low-60s was abnormal for me. I didn't want to discount the strips so easily though, so on I continued to night two.
