I'm not sure if you're implying there is a connection between bruxism and sleep apnea, but after a quick search, it looks like there is[0]. I've dealt with some of the issues mentioned above -- in addition to bruxism -- and never even thought to make the connection. So, whether you meant to or not, you may have just helped my tremendously. Thanks!

Very happy to hear I've helped you!

I have also dealt with both bruxism and sleep apnea so I know the symptoms. I also thought the same thing about going to sleep with my mouth open. I figured we had something in common.

Eventually I had surgery to fix my sleep apnea. Saying the surgery was a life changing experience is an understatement. Getting proper sleep for the first time after being tired my entire life was a giant step forward for me as a human being.
