Do you grind your teeth?
WHY do I grind my teeth?
Over 90% of sleep bruxism episodes occur during light non-REM sleep (stages 1 & 2) — the early transition where your brain should be settling into deep, restorative delta brain wavelength sleep.
If your stress hormones are elevated and your nervous system is stuck in sympathetic “fight-or-flight” mode, your brain struggles to sink into those deep sleep stages.
Instead, your sleep becomes fragmented with micro-arousals — brief activations of the nervous system.
Those moments are when teeth grinding and jaw clenching predominantly occur.
The result?
Cracked teeth!...Waking up with jaw pain and/or headache.
The empowering part? Many of your daily habits may be quietly sabotaging your deep sleep.
Learn how to fix it and reduce those grinding windows for good.
