Things that F'ing suck major huge fat nuts.

I am a deep sleeper - I have been known to sleep through fire alarms when I was in college - not the little "runs on a 9 volt battery and you put it on your ceiling kind" but an industrial one that is designed to clear out an entire floor and it was 8 feet away from my head while I slept.

If I am sitting still and not doing anything, then I nearly always will just fall asleep.

I sleep for a long time as well - if I don't set an alarm, I will sleep at least 10 hours and much more likely 12 to 14 hours.

I enjoy sleep and I look foward to it.

Now enter into the equation, my fiancee. In the past, she would grind her teeth so loudly that I would leave our bedroom, shut the door, go downstairs and sleep on the couch with a pillow over my head and I could still hear her grinding her teeth.
How the fuck she sleeps through that is beyond me, not to mention how her teeth survive it.

That was one of the many points of contention during a tough time for us and we ended up splitting up.

We got back together and we joked about her teeth grinding, but thankfully it seemed to have gone away.

Well, the other night I was lying there and she started fucking grinding her teeth again.
If I put my arm over her while she sleeps, it usually disturbs her sleep pattern enough that she stops grinding her teeth, but once I take it away - she starts grinding again.
I can't fall asleep in the weird position of face down and my arm sprawled out over her, and the arm over her trick doesn't work if I'm on my side or back - I have tried.

I was hoping it would just be a freak occurrance and then not happen again.

I was sitting here this evening and I thought I heard someone doing what sounded like construction work outside. It is 1am here, so I looked outside wondering what the hell it was.
Then I realized it was coming from our bedroom, which has an air conditioner running, and the door shut. There is also the sound of the fridge out here.
Over all of that, I was hearing her grind her teeth and I thought it was some sort of power tool.
She has been grinding them for close to an hour now.

It hit me that when we were together before, she was on Prozac, then she went off of it during the time we were apart, and then more recently (a few days ago) she went back on it again.

So I looked up the side effects of Prozac - and sure enough, a rare side effect of all SSRIs is that they cause bruxism - grinding of the teeth, especially in the sleep.

I can't even beging to describe how pissed I am about this.
It essentially means that I won't get to sleep for the entire time that she is on this drug.
I basically just had a newborn child, except there is no baby, just the joys of not sleeping.

She doesn't get how awful it sounds, nor how incredibly loud it is, so she thinks I'm overly sensitive for being pissy about it.
I don't know if recording it will fully catch the true disgustingness of the sound.

If she has it on this SSRI, then switching to another one isn't going to help, and other drugs outside of the SSRI range aren't what she needs.
I would say that she needs to not be on the drug - we tried that since neither of us like the drugs - but she is a total and complete insane and crazy constantly crying mess if she isn't on the SSRIs.

fuck me this sucks.

I am an incredibly tolerant person. I can endure all kinds of shit and manage to find a way of finding a positive spin on it - but if I miss sleep, I will quickly turn into a horrible person. I need my sleep, and it is the number one thing I hate to lose in my life.

I can only hope that I will go deaf soon.
 
damn that sucks.
I used to grind my teeth when I was very young and it woke my parents up down the hall in their room.

Have her go to a dentist and get a night guard to wear. It will help prevent her from destroying her teeth, and most of the noise should be gone, if she can sleep with it in....
 
The last time we tried a mouthpiece thing, but she didn't like them and chewed through them.
They were cheap though since she didn't have dental insurance - now she does, so hopefully they can do something about it.

Also, unrelated, but jerkbox - the muscles in your upper back look to me like the danzig logo.
 
oh yeah, the teeth bashing thing is a good idea too, a nice heavy pipe wrench would work nicely. probably get most of the teeth out in one or 2 whacks.

Well if she doesn't belive how bad she is grinding her teeth, just try to get her to chew through one when she is awake ;)

A custom fit one from the dentist may work better.

Plus they can just make another one from the mold every week as she chews through them :D
 
There is a specific type of mouthpiece you can use for this. My friends sister was hooked on X for a while, and she would grind her teeth like none other.

Grinding teeth is bad bro..my dad had that problem,he eventually grinded his teeth until the tooth enamel was destoryed,had to start wearing falseteeth after he destoryed those!

RADAR
 
sure your not gay, be a man. use ear muffs or ear plugs. How about a sound conditioner, or stick your pecker in her ass, that should make her stop
 
That's something that would drive me up the wall too. Have you brought this up to the doctor that prescribed the prozac? I've heard of this happening to a few people, so maybe the doc would have some ideas of what to do.
 
I recently broke up with my gf of 8 years, 5 years living together. I snore fairly badly and she couldn't stand it. She would wake me either by nudging or cussing out loud basically every 30 minutes thru the entire night. She, on the other hand was cold natured and would turn on the heat at night. We're in Los Angeles now so this meant the bedroom was like 75-80 degrees at 3AM. I'm sweating like a whore in church and if I did ever get to sleep she woke me up cuz i'm snoring. Mind you, she snores herself but I never woke her cuz I figure she's not gonna stop anyway. But no, she couldn't let me snore for 10 minutes w/o bitching. We broke up last july when I realized I was never going to have another good's night sleep with her in the same bed.
I moved out on 8/16 and I have slept like a newborn baby every night since. I get up every morning diving out of bed ready to attack the day.
On a side note Tyler Hamilton, a pro bike racer, broke his collarbone during a 3 week race last year but kept on racing. The pain was so bad he ground his teeth down to the point that 11 had to be replaced or recapped.
 
i actually found this post funny. I cannot imagine how grinding your teeth can be so loud. I dont even know what people mean when they say they are grinding teeth..How exactly is it done?

And NDN, you should seriously just get a new woman, and I'm not even joking.
 
Just smack her face whenever she starts doing it. Not too hard just enough to give her the subconsious message. Eventually she will correlate the grinding with pain and stop doing it.

She may wake with a bruised face but it will work out in the end.
 
try something thicker than a retainer....like a gumshield?

My daughter ground her teeth for a few years... it was very loud and it drove me absolutely crazy. She would be sleeping in another room and it would still wake me up.

We asked a Doc about it and he said it will sometimes happen with children - they eventually grow out of it. Thankfully, she did.

There you go NDN. Maybe when she`s over 12 you`ll be fine. lol

jk bro. I think.
 
Get her a mouth piece, you know like football players wear. That or send her to a dentist and hell sell her one for about 10000% more calling it a dental form.
 
I can't picture it being this loud... whoa?

Or better yet, close her nostrils, she will open her mouth to breathe.

Bingo
 
you can't stand her teeth grinding, and she has to be on prozac just to stand you, what can I say? hahah bada bing!!!.... just use super glue. seriously though, you should probably kill her.....................................with a pillow:google:
 
Proazc? That doesn't exactly sound like a mentally stable woman that I'd like to spend the rest of my life with. But hey, if you really love her, I'm happy for you.

Since retainers don't work, maybe it's time to buy a nice pair of earplugs?
 
LOL @ some of the responses on here.

It seems to be the worst between the hours of 1am and 2am - was last time too. Must be at some level of sleep that it runs.
 
Have you tried earplugs?
If the big headphone ones are uncomfortable, try the foam kind you stick in your ear. They work great when using loud concrete drills. They should do alright.

You squeeze them and place them in your ear and they expand tightly. Works great.
 
LMAO - either I'm giddy this morning (1:12pm kinda moring) or this shit is funny.

I'm not sure I'd ever wake up on time if I had earplugs in.

I'm gonna start wearing the air traffic headphone style ones that the dudes on the runway use - I'm gonna style them at work.
Then when people try to talk to me I'll yell "WHAT?!" and then "ONE SEC!" and lift one side and then again ask what they want.
 
You can carve out the inside of a frozen turkey and put it on your head. I hear the meat and skin of a turkey can repell sound like nothing else. That would work great but...

Where the hell could you find some frozen turkeys? It`s not like those things fall at your feet.
 
gonelifting is on a roll this morning.

My fiancee wasn't nearly as amused over the frozen turkey incident as I was.
 
I`ve been up since 4AM from a crying baby.

You think YOU have problems. lol
