Curious if that tongue-palate trick would also reduce bruxism during stimulant use.


IME, yes. I tend to tap my teeth. Focusing on my tongue--pushing against my palette, keeping my teeth separated--helps.

Seemingly coincidental remedy, too. I don't remember reading anything about the proper resting position of the jaw. I just found that the one the helped the other. In fact, I was worried doing this with my tongue was a no-no, but figured it was better than the alternative.


I was taught the tongue-palate trick years ago as a relaxation technique. It's basically impossible for your facial muscles to be contracted while doing it, helping an overall relaxation.


Yeah it helps. Magnesium taken beforehand helps too, at least in my experience.
