From what I understand, it can be caused by tongue muscle movements hitting the upper part of the throat. Try rolling the top upwards when you hear the sounds and see if it stops (for my case, it stops instantly). I don't think there really 100% fix for this (that I am aware of). If you have allergies, your sinus problem could be another reason that is causing this issue as well.
Is there treatment
This is the correct answer.
The clicking is a form of obstructive sleep apnea. It occurs when you don't get enough oxygen while sleeping. Get tested.
Straightening throat helps
I am experiencing this too! Do you know what it is?
Totally me EVERY SINGLE NIGHT
My girlfriend is gonna hit me with a shovel if I don't find an answer to this. How would i stop it!???!!!
I catch myself clicking sometimes when I'm nearing sleep but still awake enough to know I'm doing it. Usually it's when I'm super tired or hungover
Hi, ive struggled with this for 3 years did u manage to get any solution?.i ve seen a few doctors but they don t know.my next line of enquiry is maybe my chest.any help would be appreciated
This happy to me most nights alcohol or not I am quite pleased to know that I am not the only one. But sorry I don't have an answer.
i found this post while doing the same thing. hahaha we have been together for 10 years and married for 7 1/2 but it just drives me nuts
Lol, sounds exactly like me and my husband! We've been together for a long time and he clicks in his sleep! Along with a wide symphony of other noises, he makes while he sleeps. But the clicking is the wosrt. It's like nails on a chalkboard! It gets worse when his sinuses are swollen. I'm dseparate to find a solution. I've tried the obvious stuff, allergy pills, nose strips....
This guy is wrong about it is^. I'm too lazy to read if his remedy works. But what it is, is the back of your throat clicking, it's like at the back of your throat not teeth or jaw. Ik this cause my roomate is currently keeping me awake and I'm cheesed too, I'd divorce you, lol jk.
Just watched a TedTalks about sleep manipulation...long story short; scientists discovered that when they made a clicking sound at certain times during sleep it actually improved that person's sleep, memory, and brain health...So, if we are naturally doing this maybe it's a good thing. Maybe it's a superpower to do it on our own.
