You’ve probably heard of “restless leg syndrome,” — symptoms usually affecting women. The legs feel extremely uncomfortable while sitting or lying down.
Well .. if you grind your teeth at night, your jaw muscles are experiencing similar symptoms — jaw muscles that are tense and irritable, much like the leg muscles in restless legs.
Whether legs or jaws, a hot calcium/magnesium drink can work wonders. It relaxes the muscles and thus encourages sleep. Sip it before bedtime and feel those nervous, tense muscles calm down.

I don’t grind my teeth or clamp down hard, but I am always moving my jaw. At its worst, I am rubbing my teeth together (as in the front of my lower teeth against the back of my upper teeth). At the end of my day, my jaw muscles are sore and it bothers me as I am trying to get to sleep. Would the above recommendation work for this type of issue? Or should I try something different?

John: I would definitely try drinking some hot calcium magnesium beverage to see if that relieves the muscle tension.
