12Sleep Disorder
Those people who often snore or experience a sleep disorder like obstructive sleep apnea or insomnia are often at higher risk of grinding their teeth. This especially occurs when they are sleeping at night. Sleep apnea would disrupt the breathing patterns, causing you to clench the teeth as a response. Also, some other problems would trigger bruxism during sleep include mumbling or talking while asleep, behaving violently like punching or kicking out when sleeping, having sleep paralysis or temporary inability to speak or move, as well as experiencing hallucinations.
