Breathing rhythm during sleep is central to brain rhythms and memory

[Joseph_Lavelle]

“…breathing underlies intrinsic coordination of sleep oscillations in humans. Brain rhythms during sleep coordinate activity across different neural systems, as part of memory consolidation processes.”

Don’t have sleep apnea, obviously. I wonder about the effect of nasal breathing during sleep.

Breathing Coordinates Brain Rhythms for Memory Consolidation During Sleep

My best and deepest sleeps are always when my breathing rate is lowest per my Oura ring
