It's fine to breathe through mouth while sleeping. It just depends on the person. For example, me, when I was of a younger age I choked in my sleep because of my tonsils. But people with regular tonsils shouldn't have any problem. Anyway, if you have problems with sleeping like that than go visit your doctor because on my opinion it's something we should all be able to do safely.

How long do nurse sharks sleep?

Basedd on my experienes in Eleuthera, Bahamas, nurse sharks actually do nap, breathing regularly and without moving, which most shaks cannot do; they have to be moving to get enough water through their gills. Nurses can breathe stationary because they can pum water through their mouth and out their gills. Nurse sharks generally dont have a sleep period like we do, they dont have a long period of REM sleep, which is when you are in a deep sleep state. Nurse sharks generally nap for around an average of 1 hour, but sometimes 2, and 3 hours as well. Nurse sharks will nap either on the sea floor (in my case, in a small bay area, 20 feet deep) or in their shallow nests. Nurse sharks are generally nocturnal animals, which is why the often nap in the day.

If underwater they must hold their breath until they come to the surface.
