Mouth taping, is this for real?

My daughter was telling me about this new “mouth taping” rage that’s all over TikTok (probably other places too) recently. Apparently people tape their mouth to force breathing through their nose when they sleep. This seems pretty odd, I can’t really imagine what the benefits might be. Has anyone heard of this?

There’s not much on TikTok of any social value, frankly, and the dangers with some of these challenges are extensive. I’d be keeping my kid off TikTox, frankly.
