TMJ-Related Tossing and Turning

Find Restful Sleep with TMJ Treatment

Are you struggling to get a good night’s sleep due to constant tossing and turning? At the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of Pittsburgh, we understand how sleep disruptions can affect your quality of life. If you’re experiencing this nightly struggle, TMJ disorders might be the underlying cause, and our expert team is here to help you achieve restorative sleep.

What Does Tossing and Turning Have to Do with TMJ?

Tossing and turning refers to frequent movement during sleep, often caused by discomfort or pain. Many people don’t realize that this restlessness can be linked to Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMJ). When your jaw is misaligned or the muscles surrounding your TMJ are tense or inflamed, it can lead to pain, muscle tightness, and airway restriction, making it difficult to settle into a deep sleep.

Additionally, TMJ-related issues often contribute to sleep-disordered breathing, such as sleep apnea. These disruptions can cause your body to awaken repeatedly, preventing you from achieving the deep, restorative sleep you need.

Symptoms of TMJ-Related Tossing and Turning

If TMJ is contributing to your restless nights, you may experience:

• Jaw pain or discomfort that worsens at night or in the morning.
• Frequent headaches or migraines.
• Neck, shoulder, or back pain that makes it hard to relax in bed.
• Clicking, popping, or locking of the jaw.
• Breathing interruptions during sleep.

These symptoms can lead to chronic sleep deprivation, fatigue, irritability, and reduced daily performance.
