My whole life, for some reason, I've breathed through my mouth.

It's *really* uncomfortable for me to breathe through my nose, like it's restricting the air I can get. If someone were to say, "Here, breathe through your nose for 10 minutes straight," I could prob do it but it'd be very hard.

I'm starting to get really annoyed with sleeping because I always wake up with the driest mouth and throat (even though I have a humidifier).

Is there a way I can train my body to breathe through my nose? I'm not even sure why I don't. The only thing I could think of is I used to have ear infections as a baby (which is typically connected to some nasal issue), so naturally I suppose I resorted to the mouth.
