When you are sitting silently, where is your tongue? Does it lay in the bottom of your mouth?

SERIOUSLY- Does it lay in the bottom of your mouth, or do you force it to press against the roof of your mouth?

Dr. Sam-do you know of any other reason (besides myotonic dystrophy) that would explain my tongue being constantly pressed to the roof of my mouth, instead of relaxed in the bottom?

Snowflake-I actually have been like that for more than 12 years, and it's with all my muscles. I am always tensed and am never able to relax. It started with my tongue so long ago that I honestly couldn't remember if the tongue was supposed to be up or down!

If I sit with my mouth open, then yes, it is in the bottom of my mouth, behind my teeth.
Usually I sit with my mouth closed, so that I don't look stupid LOL. In this case my tongue is loose but it is behind by both upper and lower teeth. It touches the roof of my mouth in some places. Hey, it just kinda doesn't fit inside if I don't let it touch the roof.
To your comment to Dr Sam - is it possible that you are stressed and tense? I see often on some people when they are stressed or exremely concentrated they push their tongue to their cheek or something like that, i.e. their tongue is not relaxed when they are stressed.

It is supposed to just sit there in the bottom of your mouth. The widest part of your tongue should match up to the inside points of the lower teeth when it is at rest.

As soon as I read your question I noticed that mine was at the roof of my mouth.
