Sleeping With a Mouthguard
>> Tuesday, May 12, 2009
Yeah, okay ...so I adjusted just ~fine~ to sleeping with the non-glow-in-the-dark mouthpiece my dentist made for me because when I'm stressed, I grind my teeth which keeps hubby awake, and damages my teeth. I have had to have SO many fillings replaced prematurely because of it.
I SAID it should be glow in the dark!
Of course, when I said it, I didn't have as good a reason for it - I just happen to like glow in the dark stuff.
But seriously - if it DID glow in the dark, perhaps I might have been able to find it again in the dark and put it back in when I was grinding my teeth so loudly that I woke myself up last night.
I haven't actually had all that much trouble adjusting to sleeping with it - except that apparently, as soon as I start grinding, I take it out and toss it wherever... I've found it on the nightstand, on the floor, on the windowsill, and once, inside a drawer.
No memory of taking it out at all - so I don't know how I can stop it - but I do vaguely recall waking up last night and looking for it. If it had glowed in the dark maybe I would have found it and put it back in ... at least for a few minutes.
Have you tried duct tape?
:D
You know I love you.
Seriously, stop throwing things at me!
lmao...hey i was thinking the same thing....duct tape...works for everything :)
Heh! Well at least you've adjusted to sleeping with it. I tried .. for many months. Just could not get any kind of quality sleep. So I started wearing it less and less, until finally I just stopped wearing it.
I wonder if they make some kind of fluorescent marker which would be able to mark on it? Perhaps that would glow in the dark. :)
Couldn't live without mine. Never thought about glow-in-the-dark, though. That would be good for Halloween.
My youngest son was a teeth grinder for a few years, and it drove me nuts. His poor baby teeth were looking awful. Luckily they finally fell out, and I can only hope he doesn't start up again with his big people teeth.
I'm not a grinder, but I do clench my teeth a lot at night...I've thought about getting something like that, but I don't know if I could sleep with it in my mouth either.
I think glow in the dark would be great though!
