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.
