Grinding the teeth while sleeping.
Another answer: Not necessarily while sleeping, though that is usually the case. Bruxism is the gnashing, clenching and grinding of the teeth. By far the most common form of bruxism is sleep bruxism, in which the sufferer grinds their teeth in the earlier stages of sleep, and may not be aware of it. In many cases it is their bed partner who brings the condition to their attention after being disturbed by the noise of the grinding.
