Grinding Your Teeth In Your Sleep
If you wake up with a tight jaw and pain in your temples, it’s possible that you were grinding your teeth while asleep. The subconscious habit is often related to nerves or stress, and can be hard to control when you aren’t doing it on purpose.
A good test is to open your mouth wide in the morning to see if there’s any pain in your jaw. If you are grinding your teeth frequently, your dentist may recommend a mouth guard to prevent enamel damage.
