Tossing & Turning

Struggling With Restless Nights of Tossing and Turning?

At the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of Montana, we specialize in providing relief for patients experiencing symptoms linked to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, including restless sleep and tossing and turning. If you’re waking up tired or struggling to stay still at night, TMJ dysfunction might be the underlying cause. Our expert team is here to help you uncover the connection and guide you toward restful, rejuvenating sleep.

What Causes Tossing and Turning in Relation to TMJ?

Tossing and turning linked to TMJ disorders often stems from the strain and misalignment of the temporomandibular joint, which connects the jaw to the skull. TMJ dysfunction can lead to muscle tension, discomfort, and micro-arousals during sleep, making it difficult for your body to stay relaxed and in deep sleep cycles. These disruptions can create a cycle of poor-quality sleep and persistent restlessness.

Symptoms of TMJ-Related Restless Sleep

TMJ-related tossing and turning may manifest as:

• Frequent waking during the night
• Difficulty finding a comfortable position
• Jaw tension or discomfort upon waking
• Headaches or neck stiffness in the morning
• Daytime fatigue despite spending hours in bed

These symptoms can be aggravated by habits like teeth grinding, clenching, or poor oral posture, which add further stress to the temporomandibular joint.
