  • When people breathe, they only breathe out one nostril at a time and it alternates every 20 minutes. I learned this from dappled:)

    • That's not true of everyone. If I put my nose against glass and breathe out, and I see two foggy spots, one for each nostril. Or if I put my thumbs right under your nostrils and breathe in, I feel suction on both thumbs, unless I'm stuffed up from a cold.

      Edit: Maybe it's this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasal_cycle

      • yeah. i noticed maybe 5 years ago that i do that and i kept thinking it was only a temporary thing but every time i put my hand up there, im only breathing out one nostril. i put an is it normal post on here yesterday and dappled told me that most people only breathe through one nostril and they alternate every 20 minutes. I guess i'm one of the only people who puts their hand up to their nose close enough to notice it because dappled says its a little known human fact. I went most of my life without knowing i only breathe out one nostril at a time. I don't think i noticed till I was a young teenager.
