Mouth taping: should I start surgically taping my mouth shut at night?

Tess Daley is a fan of mouth taping - (Tess Daley / Instagram)

Taping my mouth shut at night is a rigamarole. A complete nuisance. It entails making sure my skincare has time to penetrate and that my nose is free of blockages prior, strategically drinking plenty of water so I won’t need to have any during the night, and bleating out my final words of the day in a frenzy to make sure they’re all said.

And then on goes the tape. Initially just some surgical stuff I had in a drawer from the time I cut my finger quite deeply, but as time progresses and I get more serious about trialling taping, I switch to VIO2tape, which is pre-cut and doesn't irritate my skin.
