Life-changing surgery on a deviated septum..... is it now time for mouth tape? [M/38]

I started to notice that my sleep sucked. My girlfriend pointed out to me that my sleep seemed disturbed and unrestful. Apparently I was waking myself up to breathe better during the night. Increasingly, I would wake up feeling crappy. Bags appearing under my eyes, and a daytime sleepiness that I just couldn't seem to shake.

So I went to see an ENT doctor, who inserted a probe up my nose to reveal the true extent of my extraordinarily deviated septum. After consulting with a facial plastic surgeon, I scheduled and completed a major septo-rhinoplasty surgery to straighten my septum.

The day of the surgery (sept, 2024)

After 38 years of breathing through one nostril, both nasal passages are now utterly clear & open; it's amazing!! I'm now consciously breathing through my nose way, way more. It's been 4 months since the surgery, and I'd say 99% of the swelling is gone. Happy to talk to anyone with a deviated septum and considering taking the plunge on surgery. I highly recommend!

But my sleep still feels challenged. I've been seeing ads and notices about mouth tape everywhere and now that I've got a full double-barreled nose, I'm wondering if taping my mouth makes sense as a next step to improving sleep quality. Does anyone here have any advice, experience or tips for how I should think about this?

TLDR; sleep sucked. fixed a deviated septum. nose breathing is revolutionized, but sleep still sucks. should I now explore mouth tape as a next step? advice welcome.
