Stress: .. Is one cause, restlessness, and sometimes it's just a habit. Hard to stop the grinding, but wearing a night guard will help protect your teeth. See your dentist to have one made professionally.

Bruxism: Grinding teeth while a sleep or bruxism considered a sleep disorder issue . It could be related to stress and anxiety .You might be in need for a night guard . Not the soft one over the counter but a hard and soft one done professionally by a dentist . Soft night guard do more damages than management.
