I was coming in to post this. There is new evidence that bruxism is your body just trying to keep its airway open when you are asleep. If you grind your teeth at night and have excessive daytime sleepiness even after getting 8+ hours of sleep, then you should get a sleep study done to check for sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a very serious medical condition that increases blood pressure, damages your brain, wrecks havoc on your mental health, and increases risk for heart attack, stroke, diabetes, etc.
