Oh mommy i should add that i suffered a dislocated jaw 2 years ago and thats how my addiction was born. but since then even the slightest clenching causes excruciating pain in my entire face and ears. pay attention and see if your clenching or grinding your teeth when you manage to catch some sleep. a dental mouthguard has done wonders for me.
