How TMJ and Sleep Disorders Contribute to Tossing and Turning
Restless nights filled with tossing and turning can leave you exhausted. Lifestyle habits, stress, or medical conditions may be to blame. Here’s what might be causing your sleepless nights:
Common Causes of Tossing and Turning
- Anxiety & Stress: Racing thoughts and tense muscles make relaxation difficult.
- Overstimulation: Blue light from devices or loud noises delays sleep.
- Poor Sleep Habits: Inconsistent schedules or excessive napping disrupt rest.
- Diet Imbalances: Inflammatory foods can reduce melatonin production and impair breathing.
Medical Conditions Affecting Sleep
- Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS): Causes an urge to move legs, disrupting rest.
- Sleep Apnea: Interrupted breathing leads to frequent awakenings.
- Insomnia: Difficulty falling or staying asleep increases restlessness.
- Chronic Pain: Conditions like arthritis make finding comfort difficult.
- Bruxism: Teeth grinding triggers micro-arousals, disrupting deep sleep.
