CHOOSING THE NIGHT SHIFT

People who work the night shift have an uphill battle when it comes to sleeping all day. Our bodies are programmed to sleep during the night and be awake during the day, so night shift workers have to trick their bodies into sleeping during the day and staying awake at night. It can be even more difficult for shift workers who suffer from bruxism (teeth grinding) or TMJ disorder (commonly called TMJ, an often-painful jaw displacement disorder that involves teeth clenching). Fortunately, CustMbite has developed a line of products to help people with bruxism or TMJ sleep better, including those who need to sleep during the day. Continue reading to learn more tips to sleep better during the day.

5 TIPS TO SLEEP BETTER DURING THE DAY

  1. When you have to sleep during the day, do it all week long. Let everyone know what your waking hours will be so they don't bother you when you're trying to sleep or expect you to be part of things that happen during your “night” hours.
  2. Get as much light as possible during your waking hours, tapering off in an hour or two before you fall asleep for the day.
  3. Whatever time you go to bed, stop drinking caffeine about five hours before that time.
  4. Get regular exercise, but don't exercise just before bed because exercise gives you a boost of energy that you don't need before you try to go to sleep for the day.
  5. The number one thing you can do to sleep better during the day is to use one of the nightguards from CustMbite.

 

If you have bruxism or TMJ, it's important that you use one of our nightguard products to prevent the pain from teeth grinding or clenching from waking you up during the day. Read more about which one of our family of products is right for you below.

WHICH MOUTHGUARD IS RIGHT FOR SLEEPING DURING THE DAY?

CustMbite has developed different mouthguards so that you can choose one depending on your particular circumstances.If you suffer from the symptoms of bruxism or TMJ, one of the following mouthguards is right for you.

  • Moderate Pain – CustMbite Nightguard
  • If you experience minor to moderate pain from bruxism or TMJ as you sleep during the day, our Nightguard is the best product for you. It is made to be flexible and comfortable to wear, yet strong enough to prevent your teeth from grinding or clenching during sleep.
  • Severe Pain – CustMbite Hard Surface Nightguard
  • If your pain from bruxism or TMJ is more severe, you should use our Hard Surface Nightguard. It's also comfortable to wear and customizable, but it's stronger and able to hold up to a greater degree of teeth grinding and clenching.

If bruxism or TMJ causes you to experience heavy snoring during sleep, you can benefit from our Snore Relief Mouthpiece. It's also made of mouthguards that can keep your teeth from grinding or clenching, but it also features tori.
