Daytime Sleepiness and Dispositional Optimism Are Related to Awake Bruxism Among Patients With Painful Temporomandibular Disorders
This study demonstrates an association, albeit with a small effect size, between the frequency of certain self-reported AB behaviours and both daytime sleepiness and dispositional optimism. These findings suggest that, while these factors may play a modest role, they deserve consideration as potential contributors to the report of AB.
