Get Rid of Annoying Sleeping Habits

I found this info: Ask The Doctor: Biting Tongue While Asleep -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question: I bite my tongue repeatedly in the course of the night during sleep. I am concerned because I am losing sleep and I am worried that it could be something serious. What could cause this? What should I do about it? I have been working in a peanut butter company and I want to make sure this is not some form of allergy-related seizure. http://body.aol.com/expert-q-and-a/ask-the-doctor-biting-tongue-while-asleep Answer: With no other symptoms, it is very unlikely that your nighttime tongue biting is the result of seizures. It is possible that you grind your teeth at night (many people do) and you are injuring your tongue in the process. Your dentist may be able to advise you whether or not your dental exam reveals signs of tooth grinding. If your body jerks during the night due to abrupt leg movements (a sleeping disorder named restless legs syndrome), this could cause you to bite your tongue. A less common condition called "familial nocturnal facio-mandibular myoclonus" would also provide a good explanation for your tongue biting. It is a problem that causes recurring spasm of your face and jaw muscles during the night. This problem is not dangerous, and it runs in families. To get more information about the cause of your tongue biting, an overnight stay in a laboratory where your sleep can be monitored (a "sleep study") would be helpful.

WEll can't think of any cures, maybe you could try a mouth guard that you can get from the doctors, my freind gets one as she grinds her teeth in her sleep but as it parts the tongue from the top teeth it may help your habbits too, definately worth a try.

U cant cure such habits but atleast u can reduce their intensity and frequency of occurence over the passage of time by various other protective measures or from doctoral advice which would help in curbing them, i dont think i have any sleeping habit ,coz when i sleep i sleep like tired dog,i need to be kicked to wake up...lol!!!!

Oh no that sounds painful lol..Mysbe if you put some repellent of some kind there? I have never heard of this before but maybe engaging the mind in other things and locking your tongue into a position under your teeth might do it..under the teth is where we lock our tongue when we do tai ji and qi gong..so maybe try that and it may aid disciploine and help you concentrate on building up will power to get rid of this habit..just guessing lol..good luck..

Hi hun, hope all is well. My mother had a problem with grinding her teeth in her sleep for years. She went to the Dentist and asked him if he knew what she could do about it. He gave her a thing that is almost like a retainer. It goes over top of her teeth and that way if she does grind it won't harm her teeth. My suggestion would be to talk to your dentist. They might have a good idea about what can be done. Good Luck!

I used to have the habit of grinding my teeth, jeweled. This was just so annoying. For some time now they have had something that you can use to prevent this-a piece of some sort that fits in your mouth. Surely they should have something that will solve your problem. You could probably check with some dentists. Good luck.
