Does anyone else grit their teeth or clinch your jaw and not realize you are doing it?

I was taking the medication Modafinil, which is supposed to help with "brain fog" etc. I found myself gritting my teeth during the night. So much so, my jaw would be sore in the morning. I don't think I ever truly went into a deep sleep while taking it. I now take Adderall with no issues.

Yep. Have your dentist make you a mouth-guard. It will save your teeth.

It is not normal to gring your teeth. A mouth guard might help. If severe Botox shots help. They offer TMJ physical therapy. Don't ignore. I had surgery to rebuild my joint. If actual joint is locking get a TMJ MRI to see if joint is destroyed inside.

Normal for me. I have to concentrate on myself to not do it around other people
