I constantly catch myself clenching my teeth. Does anyone else do this, or is it just another quirk I’m beginning to notice?

Could be TMJ too. I'd get a checkup at your dentist office. You can grind your teeth down to the nerves and have to get a crown. You might need a nightguard. I did all the above and I have a mouth full of crowns. No one ever told me I needed a nightguard for sleeping. Well, another dentist did and I got one.

I chew gum quite a bit. In my early 30's is when I got a mouthful of crowns. ( before meds and PTSD diagnoses) I had literally ground them down to the nerves. More than grinding.. Sounded like loud cracking.. said husband at the time.Not a solution for sleep, but I've been considering chewing gum. Haven't gotten myself to it yet because, yah, stuff in mouth, ... but keeping the mouth busy doing something would at least prevent clenching. (snacking for similar reasons...but just really not as healthy
I’m sorry you’ve had the same experience, @siniang, but I’m glad you shared. It’s validating...(just as what @Elsewhere described, with a mouthguard I clench even harder).
