I've had students running self-experiments for some time. I have always hoped that letting them choose their own experiments would increase their motivational investment, but that has not turned out to be generally observable. Maybe the camaraderie of joining a large-group experiment would work better. Maybe that would feel more 'real' to them.
Love this experiment! My husband and I would love to participate, but we don't use any fitness trackers. That said, if you (or the researchers) are looking for financial resources, consider Experiment.com! They're a crowdfunding platform for science research. I'm one of their reviewers, and I think this would go over pretty well over there :)
Routine may help to get to sleep faster, or what you call reducing sleep latency. The routine of taping may make a difference. How about a non-taping control group? Mouth-breathing may be a proxy for chronic sinus infection. It would be interesting to compare this study with that of people who wear various kinds of headgear to prevent snoring.

Great work! Would love to see more of this!
