TMJ- Related Fatigue
About Fatigue & TMJ Disorders
Feeling persistently tired or drained can disrupt every aspect of your life. For many individuals, fatigue is more than just feeling sleepy—it can be a symptom linked to Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders. At the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of Cleveland, we specialize in identifying and treating the underlying causes of fatigue related to TMJ disorders, helping you reclaim your energy and well-being.
What Does Fatigue Mean in Relation to TMJ?
Fatigue associated with TMJ disorders often stems from the strain and discomfort that these conditions place on your body. TMJ dysfunction can contribute to:
- Chronic Pain: Ongoing discomfort in the jaw, face, or neck can make restful sleep nearly impossible, leaving you feeling exhausted.
- Sleep Disruptions: TMJ disorders are frequently linked to issues like sleep apnea or teeth grinding (bruxism), both of which interrupt deep, restorative sleep.
- Stress and Tension: The physical and emotional stress caused by TMJ pain can deplete your energy levels over time.
Symptoms of TMJ-Related Fatigue
While fatigue might seem unrelated to jaw pain, there are often overlapping symptoms that point to TMJ as a possible cause, including:
- Difficulty falling or staying asleep
- Morning headaches or jaw soreness
- Daytime sleepiness or a constant sense of exhaustion
- Stiffness or discomfort in the jaw, neck, or shoulders
- Difficulty concentrating or brain fog
If you’re experiencing these symptoms, it’s important to address the root cause rather than treating the fatigue alone.

This is the office and staff to go to, for TMJ and or just sleep difficulties. Not only is Dr. K’s knowledge of both areas stellar, but she strives to continually educate herself to provide support and answers for her patients. I so wish I had known about the root of my sleeping problems yrs ago, but I am so thankful I have been under her care now. So many issues have improved and I am grateful.
