Perceived psychosocial job stress and sleep bruxism among male and female workers.
Psychosocial job stress has been associated with sleep disturbances, but its association with sleep bruxism (SB), the stereotype movement disorder related to sleep, is not well understood. The aim of this epidemiological study was to examine the relationship between psychosocial job stress and SB. ⋯ We conclude that SB is weakly associated with some aspects of job stress in men but not in women among the Japanese working population.
