A member asked:

Can anxiety cause muscles in face to tighten up while sleeping?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Certainly. Whenever one is anxious, our muscles tense up. Anxiety can also cause tooth grinding which will lead to pain and tense facial muscles. Grinding teeth usually does occur when asleep.
