In this episode, we explore why nasal breathing is foundational to healthy sleep.
Concerns around restless sleep, teeth grinding, night waking, and daytime behaviour are some of the most common reasons families come to see me. They are also some of the most misunderstood.
Breathing, sleep quality, jaw development, and dental health are deeply connected. Yet they are often discussed in isolation.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why nasal breathing matters
- What mouth breathing during sleep may signal
- Common airway contributors including adenoids, tonsils, congestion, and jaw structure
- How facial development influences breathing
- Sleep behaviours to look for
- Why poor sleep quality affects regulation and behaviour
