Troy Aikman Uses Hostage Tape

By Alex N., Founder

Updated 2 Days Ago

100 million Americans are being held hostage by poor sleep. Tonight, you will be one of them. Your mouth will fall open. You won't know it's happening. And tomorrow, you'll feel it.

Here are the 5 reasons it keeps happening and what finally stopped it.

1. Clinically Proven to Increase Sleep Depth by 45.4%

Your players train for hours. But recovery happens at night. When athletes mouth-breathe during sleep, they lose moisture, spike cortisol, and skip the deep sleep stages where HGH is released. In a recent SleepSpace clinical study, participants who switched to nasal breathing with Hostage Tape saw a 45.4% increase in their deep sleep ratings. One simple change triggers nasal breathing, activates the parasympathetic nervous system, and lets the body actually repair.

2. Measurable Reductions in Daytime Sleepiness

The Epworth Sleepiness Scale is a validated clinical instrument used to measure daytime fatigue. A 2 to 3 point change is considered clinically meaningful. In our active-control study, participants using Hostage Tape saw a 3.7-point improvement by week three. When your athletes mouth-breathe during sleep, HRV tanks, resting heart rate rises, and morning readiness scores suffer. Coaches see the difference in practice intensity within the first week of switching.

3. Designed for Athletes — Comfortable, Secure, All Night

This is not medical tape. Hostage Tape is engineered with a flexible, skin-safe adhesive that stays put through sweat, movement, and full beards. Athletes forget it is on by the second night. It peels off clean every morning with zero irritation. No coaching required. Players peel, stick, and sleep.

4. Elite Quarterbacks Are Already Using This Every Night

NFL Quarterbacks, college programs, and Olympic athletes are taping every night. Troy Aikman has used it for two years. The San Francisco 49ers, the New York Yankees, and the University of Nebraska football program have all added Hostage Tape to their recovery protocols. When your competitors are optimizing sleep, standing still is falling behind.

5. The Highest-ROI Recovery Tool in Your Program

You spend thousands on cold tubs, compression boots, and supplements. Hostage Tape costs just $.57 cents per night per player and outperforms most of them on measurable recovery metrics. One Sleep Kit covers an entire year per player. No refills, no subscriptions, no maintenance.

The Science Is In. Mouth Tape Works.

FAQ

Will it work with my beard? +

Yes. Hostage Tape is engineered with BeardFlex™ technology, designed to hold through stubble and facial hair without falling off or ripping. The flexible strip sits over the lips, not on the beard, so it holds securely regardless of beard length or thickness. Thousands of bearded customers use it every night.

Can I still breathe normally with it on? +

Yes. Hostage Tape is engineered with AirFlow™ technology, a breathable mesh that lets air through so you never feel trapped or restricted. It encourages nasal breathing, not restricted breathing. You can breathe fully through your nose at all times. If your nose is fully blocked, simply remove the tape. It is not suitable for use if you have a severe nasal obstruction.

How long until I notice a difference? +

Most people notice a difference within the first few nights. Waking up feeling more rested, less dry-mouthed, and with more energy in the morning are the most commonly reported early changes. The real transformation happens over 90 nights. That's why our Starter Pack includes a full 90-night supply, so you can experience the full difference and build the habit that sticks. Individual results vary.

What if it falls off while I sleep? +

The fabric strip is designed to stay on through the night. If it does come off, that's completely fine. There's no risk involved. Many people find it stays on reliably from the first night; others take a few nights to find the right placement.

Is it comfortable to wear? +

Most people forget it's on within a minute or two. Engineered with AirFlow™ breathable mesh and BeardFlex™ technology, the fabric is soft and flexible, not stiff or restrictive. It peels off easily in the morning without discomfort.

Is Hostage Tape made with non-toxic materials? +

Yes. Hostage Tape is made with medical-grade, non-toxic, hypoallergenic materials. The adhesive is latex-free and safe for nightly use on your skin. No harsh chemicals, no weird ingredients. Just clean, skin-safe materials designed to be worn while you sleep.

What if I don't like it? +

You have 90 nights to try it. If you're not happy for any reason, contact us for a full refund. No questions asked.
