Do you suffer from teeth grinding in your sleep? Is it affecting your ability to fall and stay asleep each night?
Sleep bruxism is a common condition that causes you to grind or clench your teeth when you’re asleep. While it may surprise you, a significant amount of people suffer from this disorder. The exact causes of sleep bruxism are unknown, however, there are several factors that are said to contribute to this condition.
Some of the most common factors that lead to the development of sleep bruxism are stress and anxiety. If you are stressed or suffer from anxiety, you are more likely to grind your teeth unconsciously during sleep. Sleeping disorders like sleep apnea or medications such as antidepressants can also cause sleep bruxism.
Symptoms of sleep bruxism can range from mild tooth sensitivity to severe symptoms like teeth damage, headaches and earaches. While there are many ways to battle this disorder, hypnotherapy is one of the most effective alternative treatments for sleep bruxism.
Sleep Bruxism: How Teeth Grinding Can Affect Sleep Quality
Sleep bruxism can affect your life in many ways, however, it can affect your sleep quality in more ways than one. People suffering from sleep bruxism experience frequent disruptions in the duration of their sleep as well as its quality. This is because this disorder causes you to wake up frequently throughout the night, which in turn, leads to daytime sleepiness or feelings of fatigue in the day.
In addition to that, sleep bruxism can also contribute to the development of other sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea. Sleep apnea can further disrupt sleep quality while also putting you at risk of a variety of other health problems.
Moreover, the impact of sleep bruxism can be even worse for people who already struggle with getting sound sleep. Poor sleep quality can lead to other issues, such as an increased risk for obesity, diabetes, heart disease and other chronic conditions.
This is why it is essential to seek appropriate treatment for this disorder. Let’s find out how hypnotherapy can help.
Hypnotherapy for Sleep Bruxism—Explained
While there are many other treatments to cure sleep bruxism, hypnotherapy is a non-invasive and drug-free form of treatment that shows promising results in helping people manage sleep bruxism. Hypnotherapy essentially involves going within, into the subconscious mind, which is where you will find the root of all your issues.
The science behind hypnotherapy for sleep bruxism stems from the understanding that the mind and body are connected. Chronic stress and anxiety can lead to muscle tension, which is known to cause sleep bruxism. When you address your underlying stress or anxiety through hypnotherapy, you can reduce muscle tension and manage teeth grinding during sleep.
In my sessions, I will help you get into a state of deep relaxation, which will, in turn, help you access your subconscious mind to identify and address the underlying causes of the disorder. By working with the subconscious mind, you can identify thought patterns or emotional responses that are associated with your habit of teeth grinding or clenching.
For example, if you are highly stressed at work and this is causing your sleep bruxism, we will work on breaking those unhelpful thought patterns and replacing them with positive ones. In my sessions, you will also learn how to manage your stress or anxiety better.
Hypnotherapy is a safe, pure and effective treatment option that can be used in combination with other treatments, like using mouthguards or dental devices. Over time, you’ll observe improvements in your overall health and find that you are able to sleep better.
Benefits of Hypnotherapy for Sleep Bruxism
There are a variety of treatment options available that can cure sleep bruxism, however, hypnotherapy can offer several unique benefits compared to other methods. For example, hypnotherapy is a non-invasive form of treatment. Unlike surgery or injections, hypnotherapy does not require any incisions or medications.
It is also more personalised to your unique needs and symptoms. As your hypnotherapist, I will work on understanding you and your unique issues with sleep bruxism. This will also help me develop a treatment plan that is tailored specifically to you.
Not only that but hypnotherapy also offers to work on the underlying issues that are causing you distress. While traditional methods may focus solely on treating the symptoms of bruxism, hypnotherapy addresses the underlying issues by working with the subconscious mind. Once you change your thought patterns that are leading to sleep bruxism, you will be able to manage your symptoms better.
