Don't Waste Time! Get Enough Sleep

Getting enough sleep is essential for attention and learning during our waking hours. When we are sleep deprived, we can’t focus on large amounts of information or sustain our attention for long periods. What causes sleeplessness? Stress, anxiety, caffeine, alcohol, and certain medications, to name a few. Sleep bruxism can also be a significant factor for your sleepless nights. 

Grind No More

Bruxism affects one in every ten people, resulting in tooth damage, facial pain, and insomnia. Sleep bruxism or (nighttime teeth grinding) is more challenging to treat, as many patients are unaware that they even have the problem. If your teeth grinding is a problem associated with periods of high stress or poor sleep, you might benefit from wearing a sleep mouthguard. .

1. Sleep Better at Night

Teeth grinding, or bruxism can be damaging to the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) and might cause you sleepless.
