BRUXISM AND TMJ AS YOU AGE
Some people have problems with bruxism or TMJ throughout their life, but it becomes much more obvious as people age. These disorders involve grinding or clenching the teeth as you sleep, causing headaches, jaw pain, and neck pain upon waking or throughout the day. You can work to control these behaviors during the day, but at night, you can’t control them as easily. That’s where the CustMbite Nightguard comes in. It’s an easy-to-use way to address the symptoms of grinding or clenching your teeth during sleep. Continue reading to learn about other causes of poor sleep as you age and to learn how the CustMbite Nightguard works to ease your pain.
CAUSES OF POOR SLEEP AS YOU AGE
- The main cause of poor sleep is insomnia. This is when you have difficulty getting to sleep or staying asleep without any interrupting factors. In addition, your daytime function is hindered because of the sleep loss. This is very common at all ages, and becomes more common as people age. A study discovered that nearly 25 percent of older adults had at least occasional symptoms of insomnia.
- Poor sleep habits can also cause sleep problems. This includes not having a regular sleep and wake time, drinking caffeine or alcohol shortly before bedtime, napping for a long time or napping later than 3 pm, and spending time awake in bed, among others. These habits may not have hindered your sleep when you were younger, but as you age, you become more sensitive to bad sleep habits.
- There are certain chronic medical illnesses that can lead to sleep issues. Conditions like heartburn, Alzheimer’s disease, menopause, arthritis, and heart failure can have a negative effect on your ability to sleep.
- There are some medicines that can cause you to have problems falling or staying asleep.
- Psychological stress can also affect the quality and quantity of sleep you get. For example, you’re twice as likely to suffer from depression as you age compared to when you were younger. Life changes, whether you consider them good or bad, can also cause stress. Whether it’s a new grandchild or the death of a loved one, moving, or experiencing physical limitations you’re not used to, stress can cause sleeping difficulties.
- Even retirement, considered one of the greatest benefits of old age, can cause your sleep-wake schedule to become irregular, which can lead to sleep issues.
Sleeping less is not always something to be concerned about, but seniors still need quality sleep. The way to determine if you’re not getting enough sleep is to consider how you feel during the day. You want to feel rested and energetic when you wake up. On the other hand, if you find that you are fatigued, fuzzy in the brain, and have a hard time accomplishing normal daily tasks, you should look into your lack of sleep and likely contact a doctor.
If you suspect bruxism or TMJ to be the culprit, a good sleep mouth guard can easily address the problem.
HOW THE CUSTMBITE NIGHTGUARD CAN HELP YOU SLEEP BETTER
