Nasal Breathing at Rest
Breathe through the nose by default during rest and sleep, and use it as the preferred pattern whenever you are not speaking or eating. The practice is often trained deliberately during the day, including during easy exercise, to make nasal breathing more automatic. It can help keep the mouth from drying out, support oral health, and encourage a calmer, more efficient breathing pattern.

“At rest, the tendency is to do nasal breathing because the air flows that are necessary for normal breathing is easily managed by passing through the nasal cavities.”
