  • Sleep by the Senses - How Temperature Controls Your Sleep

    Sleep by the Senses - How Temperature Controls Your Sleep
    Nov 5 2025
    Ep. 98 Is Your Bedroom Sabotaging Your Sleep? You might think your sleep struggles come from stress, screens, or bad habits but what if the real problem is your bedroom? In this episode, sleep coach Soda Kuczkowski unpacks the science of how your bedroom’s temperature and design can either protect or sabotage your sleep. Sleep is sensory, and temperature is the first signal your body reads to decide if it is safe enough to rest. When heat builds up inside your bedding, trapped under your pillow, or radiating from your pet curled at your side, your brain never fully powers down, and deep sleep stays out of reach. Discover how cooling triggers melatonin, slows your heart rate, and restores natural sleep cycles. Learn to spot the hidden “heat traps” sabotaging your sleep and simple ways to redesign your space, so it works with your body, not against it. 💬 “Your sleep depends on cooling down...literally. To fall asleep and stay asleep, your core body temperature must drop a degree or two.” What's Inside? Sensory Cues Matter: Sleep is a full-body, sensory experience—your environment sets the tone. Cool to Sleep Deep: Lowering your core body temperature signals your brain to rest. Personalize Your Space: Your ideal sleep setup is unique to your thermal profile. Mind the Microclimate: Bedding, airflow, pets, and even shower habits impact your rest. Temperature Audit Checklist: (Find the heat traps) • Use breathable fabrics for bedding and sleepwear • Shift pets to the lower end of the bed • Declutter around the bed to improve airflow • Swap your pillow or pillowcase before your mattress • Use fans to circulate air, not blast cold directly at your face • Test multiple thermostat settings across seasons - do not rely on one static setting. • Track heat triggers for one week and adjust accordingly based on your findings Resources: www.thedoze.co www.startwithsleep.com Chapters: 0:00 Transform Your Bedroom into a Sleep Sanctuary 5:06 Master Your Microclimate for Better Rest 9:21 Stay Cool & Hydrated for Deep Sleep 10:35 Tune In to Your Body’s Temperature Cues Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Should You Tape Your Mouth Shut to Sleep?

    Should You Tape Your Mouth Shut to Sleep?
    Oct 29 2025
    Ep. 97 Curious about the mouth-taping trend for snoring or sleep quality? In this episode of The Doze Podcast, learn the science behind nasal breathing and how to determine if mouth tape is safe for you — based on real airway health, not viral fads. This expert-led podcast episode explains: • Why nasal breathing matters for deep sleep • Signs of sleep apnea and when NOT to tape • How nasal breathing impacts sleep quality, oxygen levels, and energy • Safer first steps like nasal dilators, humidity control, and Breathe Balm Perfect for anyone exploring natural snoring relief or nighttime breathing support. Listen now to make informed, science-based decisions about your sleep. Resources: Dream Recovery Mouth Tape: Encourages nasal breathing and reduces snoring; made from organic bamboo silk. Mute Mouth Tape: Offers a partial opening for gentle mouth breathing if needed, comes with an FDA registration. Breathe Balm: A natural blend of coconut oil and essential oils promoting nasal breathing. Home Sleep Testing Ep. 4 - Silence the Snore Mouth Taping Safety Checklist Before you tape, ask yourself: 1️⃣ Can I breathe clearly through my nose, day and night? → If not, address congestion, allergies, or try a nasal dilator first. 2️⃣ Am I taping to avoid a bigger issue? → Rule out sleep-disordered breathing or sleep apnea with a proper assessment. 3️⃣ Is my sleep environment supporting healthy airflow? → Check humidity (40–60%), reduce allergens, and improve air circulation. 4️⃣ Have I tried gentle, supportive tools first? → Consider Breathe Balm or other non-restrictive nasal breathing aids. 5️⃣ Have I consulted a professional if I feel unsure? → Get guidance before using any product that affects your airway. ⚠️ Most Important ✔ Use only medical-grade mouth tape ✘ Never use household tape ✔ Stop if you feel anxious, congested, or short of breath ✔ Mouth tape is a tool, not a treatment The goal is not to silence your mouth — it is to support your airway so your body can breathe the way it was designed to: through your nose, deeply and freely.
