Sleepless in Geneva

My first night wearing a splint or a night guard is really not a pleasant one. Its already 1.25 am and I am still wide awake as I am not used to sleeping having something in my mouth. it really does feel like someone choking me with a set of dentures in my mouth. I am diagnosed as having bruxism which is a condition of grinding the teeth whilst asleep. The condition if not treated can lead to serious damage to the teeth and also an arthritis to the joints connecting the jaw and the skull just near the ears. In medical term this is known as TMJ disorder and the associated symptoms can include popping sound on the jaw joints, migraine in the morning, headache and a continous toothache. Actually I have all of those nagging pains. So I really am hoping for a cure and my best hope is this night guard that I have to put on every night that is causing me to lose my sleep. If this sleeplessness is going to run for a few days, I will probably lose my sanity...
