Are you ever lost in thought or concentrating so hard on something, that when you finally pay attention to your physical self, you are clenching your jaw shut? You then proceed to rub your jaw and release the tension and all is well.....
And then, 5 minutes later, you realize you have started doing it again?

omg i do that all the time! dont realize im clenching my jaw until it starts to ache! i do it in my sleep too. not grinding just holding my jaw shut super tight. havent a clue why..stress i guess. ive given myself toothaches from it too.
i know they make things to put in your mouth to prevent or cushion grinding, but i dont think that would help a clencher..since its still the same amount of force being pressed together..just a cushy thing inbetween!
