Recent studies have shed light on the prevalence of anxiety disorders among U.S. adults, affecting approximately 31.1% of the population at some point in their lives. Chronic anxiety can significantly impact overall well-being and daily functioning, with emerging research exploring its connection to sleep quality.
Anxiety often manifests in sleep-related issues, leading to difficulties falling asleep and perpetuating a cycle of insomnia, stress, and worry. Teeth grinding, also known as sleep bruxism, has emerged as a silent public health concern, particularly affecting women. Studies indicate that women tend to grind their teeth more than men when under stress.
