I'm willing to bet playing any wind instrument would have the same effect.

    Just pursing my lips and blowing, I can feel the muscle in the back of my mouth going tight. Adding extra resistance from an instrument and time from playing it, would probably build up some muscle quite fast

    If you go “conch-hoo conch-hoo” while you’re awake, then you won’t say it while you’re sleeping

    Do the conches like being blown? There's a question of consent here.
