Did you know your tongue should rest gently on the roof of the mouth, behind the upper front teeth? 👅

Ideally, it should be positioned in the following way:
Tip of the tongue: Slightly behind the upper front teeth.
Middle of the tongue: On the hard palate (roof of the mouth).
Back of the tongue: Not touching the back of the throat.

This resting position is known as "proper tongue posture". It helps to:
Improve oral health by reducing pressure on the teeth and gums.
Enhance breathing by keeping the airway open.
Support facial structure by preventing tongue thrusting
Improve sleep quality by reducing snoring.

Check in on yourself a couple times a day and see where your tongue tends to land!

The Recipe for Your Best Night’s Sleep

Want to wake up feeling refreshed, energized, and ready to take on the day? Here’s your simple sleep formula:

🥄 1. Quantity → Aim for 7–9 hours of sleep each night.
🌙 2. Quality → Fall asleep fast, stay asleep, and breathe smoothly throughout the night.
📆 3. Consistency → Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day—yes, even weekends!
🕙 4. Timing → The ideal bedtime? Between 10 and 11 p.m. for optimal deep sleep and heart health.
👃 5. Nasal Breathing → Calm, nose-based breathing helps you fall asleep faster and wake up more refreshed.

When you get these five things right, you unlock deeper, more restorative sleep—and better mood, energy, and health every single day.

✨ Sleep smarter, not just longer. Your body will thank you.
