Well, we could start with Other where a person has seriously recommended another person obstruct their respiratory system during sleep by:

tap[ing] your mouth shut while you sleep (if you don’t have severe sleep apnoea (sp. apnea; but also seemingly only if you have severe sleep apnoea))
- You can train more airflow through your nose by doing cardiovascular exercise with your mouth closed. Again, tape up your mouth if needed.

No. No, don't do that.

Having had a family member go through insomnia issues they've had medical professionals and alternative health offer very close to the same advice as this list. Close, but not identical, and obviously a few differences but surprisingly similar.
I suspect the "majority" of professionals were "alternative".

I'm not trying to be a dick and take away from anything that gets a person a better sleep, but this list is, at best pseudo-science, and, at worst highly dangerous.
