Sleep is essential for overall health and well-being, yet millions of people struggle with insomnia, a condition characterized by difficulty falling or staying asleep. Chronic insomnia can lead to daytime fatigue, reduced cognitive function, and an increased risk of various health conditions, including heart disease and depression. Additionally, for some individuals, insomnia is linked to sleep apnea—a disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. Fortunately, advancements in sleep medicine have led to innovative therapies that can help individuals achieve restful, restorative sleep.

If you’ve ever experienced jaw pain, headaches, or trouble sleeping, you may have wondered whether these issues are related. People who suffer from TMJ (temporomandibular joint) pain often complain about discomfort in the jaw, clicking or popping sounds, and even difficulty opening or closing their mouths. On the other hand, those with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) struggle with sleep due to blocked airways, resulting in pauses in breathing during sleep. Could these two conditions be linked?
