You wake up already feeling worn out. Your jaw aches, your head is pounding, and your teeth feel sore. These may not seem connected at first, but they’re all classic signs of TMJ disorder or nighttime teeth grinding. And as the season ramps up with activity, so do the symptoms. Tense jaw, tired you—it’s a cycle worth breaking.
Stress, Jaw Pain, and Sleep
When you’re stressed, your body holds tension in subtle ways. For many people, it shows up in the jaw—through clenching, grinding, or an off-balance bite.
TMJ disorders can lead to more than just jaw discomfort. They can cause neck pain, headaches, earaches, and disrupted sleep, all of which leave you feeling drained and irritable during the day.
