How your tongue naturally gravitates to the top of your mouth as you sleep.

Wait... The tip of my tongue rests against my palate, how much of your tongue are we talking?

On the other hand, I just realized I can't breathe through my mouth at all when it's in that position, which is really surprising and seems like it might be the important bit

    Only like the front inch of your tongue actually hits your palate. When I try it, I can breathe around the sides of my tongue.

    And now I'm giggling at the thought that I'm getting fifteen or so internet strangers to touch their tongues to the top of their mouths to try breathing around it.
