Although this habit is unintentional, oral health specialists often point to excessive stress and certain personality types as typical causes of bruxism. Bruxism often affects persons with nervous tension such as anger, pain, or frustration, and/or persons with aggressive, hurried, or overly competitive tendencies. You should see your doctor or dentist for treatment if it continues.

It is called nocturnal bruxism and is a sleep disorder. It is usually caused by stress. It is more damaging to the teeth than grinding them while your awake because you tend to grind them harder when you are asleep. You might consider trying a night guard. You can buy them over the counter or your dentist can make one from an impression that will fit specifically to your teeth.

Stress is the primary culprit in teeth grinding... You will need to see a dentist and have a night guard made. Grinding your teeth can also cause ear pain.

Bruxism isn't always caused by stress. Sometimes, a malocclusion, or misaligned bite, can cause you to clench and grind your teeth. It can also be a result of "Temporomandibular disorder", or TMD, a misalignment of the joint in the jaw. Ask your dentist they may be able to make a guard, customised for your bite.

How do you know you grind your teeth when you're asleep? When asleep, a person cannot be aware of the body activities

I started grinding my teeth in my sleep in college because my roommate was so irritating.

If you grind your teeth when your sleeping .maybe theres something happened to your family in a bad way . (it's superticious belief )but i hope its not .always pray . everytime u go to bed .
sometimes your still thinking while your sleeping and your mind is tired so it happened mostly .

Stress for sure. I do the same thing too. You can get a mouth guard from your dentist. You can chip away @ your teeth if it keeps up.
