I sleep with a night guard because i grind my teeth. woke up in the middle of the night with it in my hand. how do i prevent taking it out unconsciously?

Make sure: Make sure it fits tight, otherwise you may have to have it remade. It should require a very conscious effort to remove it. Get it checked out by your dentist.
