Have you spoken to your doctor(s) about it? Any idea how to make it stop? I was on a muscle relaxant for two weeks; not sure it did much but I did sleep a lot more those two weeks than normal! Any tips that have worked for you?

@lcr - my dentist recommended a mouth guard because I think it’s due to misaligned upper and lower teeth (mouth guard also recommended for bruxism), but that is good only during the night - not something I could wear during the day. Strangely enough, although I have a very dry mouth, if I keep anything in my mouth for more than a minute my mouth fills with saliva and I am afraid I will start drooling (without even a thought of anything worth drooling over! 😂) and that’s something that puts me off the idea. lol.
