I seem to make chewing/sucking noise while I'm asleep. It's not really loud/disturbing but what's a cause?

Question

I usually try to drink liquids before I go to bed but I'm not sure if it helps. I've never woken up to find myself doing it. I've only been told of two incidents when I was doing this but wonder if it might happen more than I know of.

Answer 1

i know a few people who have grinded their teeth and made that smacking sounds with their mouth. Maybe you are subconciously thinking or dreaming of something yummy. It happens to alot of people though

Answer 2

Mouth Noises While Sleeping

Answer 3

I was going to say what EverythingMore said.

Sometimes I grind my teeth. I wake up and my jaw is sore like I've been clenching my teeth with all my strength.

Answer 4

If you are grinding your teeth in your sleep, you should see a doctor about a mouth guard, as you may damage your teeth if you do it a lot.

Answer 5

Answer 6

You are stressed out. Try relaxation during a day may help.
