I understand that Nezuko gets stronger from just sleeping but the entire time
Tanjiro is training to master his breathing alongside Zenitsu and Inosuke she
just sleeps. Would it not have made more sense to train her to breathe as well
and she could sleep during travel and daytime and do breathing training at
night? Or is this not done due to just plot, not constraints? Are demons even
able to learn breathing techinques?

question
demon-slayer
Is there a reason for not training Nezuko in breathing?


In my opinion, demons can't train and get stronger the way humans do. Tanjiro
needs to train to get stronger; she doesn't. Also when she sleeps it's not a
normal "let's sleep at night" kind of sleep, but more of a "I'm going into a
long coma" kind of sleep. She can't train at day and sleep at night; that's
not how her recovery process works.

I don't know why Nezuko didn't train herself to use breathing techniques or
because of her bamboo piece in her mouth( ** _Just kidding!_** ). But Yes,
demons can learn breathing techniques.

Nezuko sleeps not because she has nothing else to do but because in such a way
she restores her strength instead of eating flesh. She slept through Tanjiro's
training year, while (probably, not shown really) he tried to wake her up.

From the slayers' point of view, they most likely have no idea how to train
demons because they have a different physiology. (Upper Moon One seem to have
mastered the moon breath before becoming a demon.) Also, pillars still may
think it is not safe.

It's not known yet in anime that whether demons can develop breathing
techniques. But it seems like that cannot develop breathing techniques because
demons don't feel the way like humans do. Tanjiro as a protagonist in the
series keeps on training and improving his breathing technique to save and
bring Nezuko back to her old form. On the other side, Nezuko, being a hybrid
type (not completely human nor a demon) recovers from injuries by sleeping and
the same technique goes when she is asleep. In order to protect her sister he
keeps getting stronger to bring nezuko back to her old self.
