Is there some apple watch data that could be analyzed for more accurate breath reading?
The word Lungy grosses me out. Something visceral. I imagine viewing a human organ or the chest being opened. Sorry, but I thought it might help you. If people agree, say something below. If not, I am an oddity and can be ignored.

WOW this post resonates with me on so many levels. Thank you so much for writing it out! -I have the exact same issue, I feel overwhelming fatigue that lifts with a 10 minute nap, and need to do it many times per day. I work from home, and can't really work in person because without a nap I just crash, despite getting a good nights sleep -My girlfriend pointed out that I normally breath unusually fast and shallow, ab…
Well, first thing is, can you breath through your nose? Do you have that habit down? Fixing this is really important, for me at least. If a person can't breath through their nose, I suggest trying Afrin. This was such a huge lightbulb moment for me, and was my "AHA" moment. I really didn't know that the normal human condition is to nasal breathe. My mom has the same condition and I was raised by her so I didn't reali…

As a permanent snorer and nose cold sufferer several tips in that book worked wonders for me. I already had a good set of lungs and low breathing rhythm thanks to swimming, but a few weeks of sleeping with my mouth taped shut and attention to my jaw posture solved quite some issues. (N=1 YMMV etc)
What kind of tape do you use? I've just started trying this and best I have found so far in my local grocery store is Nexcare Absolute Waterproof tape. It stays on all night, but I wondered if there was something a bit easier to remove.

I haven't read the book, but just hearing the idea to tape my mouth shut induces some anxiety. Isn't it dangerous that you don't get enough air?
I can see how it can cause some anxiety. I suppose I was lucky that it didn't for me. The first two nights I work up in the middle a couple times, decently alert, and could tell my body was trying to say something might be wrong. I was able to fall asleep quickly though, which also was something I wasn't able to do before. If you might have that anxiety, I'd say try putting tape on your mouth during the day at times…
I especially enjoy how the nasal cycle with nose breathing just seems to physically “halve” colds. Even with a cold with nose breathing one nostril just opens up at night in order to let me breathe.

Thanks for writing this all out—I too have a deviated septum and can relate to a lot of what you wrote. Have you considered surgery for your nose?
Yes, I forgot to mention but I have surgery coming up in February so hopefully I want need my Afrin dependency anymore! I wasn't sure about surgery at first, and was just super duper happy I could breath through my nose, after 40 years of not even knowing that it wasn't normal to breath only through my mouth. But after a few months of this precious nose breathing, and my mouth not drying out at night anymore which ca…

Or flutter to target all 3 :)
Highly encourage exploring Flutter as well, at least for new platforms. Lottie animations would pair nicely, as would any future goal of expanding to web or desktop.
Never had an easier time porting UI to so many, different platforms.
Flutter alone saved a year of work.
