The Link Between Tossing & Turning, TMJ, and Sleep Disorders

Tossing and turning refers to frequent movement during sleep, often caused by discomfort, restlessness, or an inability to achieve a deep, restorative sleep. This constant motion disrupts your sleep cycles, preventing you from reaching the deeper stages of rest needed for proper recovery and rejuvenation.

Tossing and turning can often be a symptom of underlying issues, such as:

• TMJ Dysfunction: Misalignment or pain in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can cause discomfort, making it difficult to find a restful position.
• Sleep Apnea: Interrupted breathing during sleep can lead to restlessness as the body struggles to achieve a steady rhythm.
• Chronic Pain or Tension: Pain in the jaw, neck, shoulders, or head can trigger frequent movement during the night.
• Stress and Anxiety: Mental health factors often manifest physically, contributing to restless sleep patterns.

Related Symptoms:

• Persistent jaw, neck, or shoulder discomfort
• Frequent waking during the night
• Daytime fatigue or difficulty concentrating
• Morning headaches or facial pain
• Snoring or breathing irregularities during sleep
