Hello! I was checking to see if you ever found a fix for it. My fiancé has been dealing with this for 3 years now. After some research it appears to possibly be a combination of sleep apnea and my TMJ. It drives him insane and he also either wakes me up or storms out of the room in rage. I need a fix for this!

Hello, sorry I don't have an answer for you but I have the exact same problem. People describe mine as "the same sucking/clicking sound you make when you itch your throat" I've never heard it myself though. I've been to my doctor and she thought I might have sleep apnea because I have all the symptoms (besides snoring.) I have headaches, depression, weight gain, mood swings, etc. So I went to the ENT. That doctor told me it's unlikely I have sleep apnea and he's never heard of people clicking in their sleep. He thought a sleep test wasn't necessary so I ended up at a dead end. Many hours on the internet and you're the old person I've found with the same condition. If you find out anything about it, please let me now. Thank you.

I also have a clicking sound when I sleep/ lay down, but’ it’s my throat that’s making that sound. Do you have any idea why?

What worked for me is a nose dilator. When I sleep with my mouth closed I do not make the sound. I open my mouth because not enough air flows trough my nose. With the dilator I get enough air trough my nose, so I keep my mouth closed and don't make the noise as much. My partner is very happy that she does not need ear plugs anymore. I look like a bull with a nose ring (not a sexy look) but it makes her happy and it actually healthier for me too.
Other suggestion are:
Mouthgard
Drink more water
Chin band
Drink water with apple cider vinigar
Take tablets against acid reflux
Keep your mouth closed wirh a pillow
Quit smoking
Use neti pot

I’m in the same boat. I’ve been a clicker for years. It drives my husband crazy ! So frustrating.

I cannot thank you enough! A nose dilator worked for my partner as well! He had been "clicking" for over a year now and I get woken up by the slightest of noises, so this was obviously a real issue. I would wake up feeling like I'd had no sleep because my sleep was so broken and eventually I would just give up and get out of bed. My partner used to play rugby, so has had too many knocks to the noise. But the nose dilator allows him to breath through his nose properly, meaning he doesn't need to open his mouth during sleep. Thus, no clicking! Again, I cannot thank you enough and would recommend everyone tries this to see if it stops the issue.

Hi,
I feel your pain. The clicking is destroying my relationship with my husband. He sleeps in the spare room 90% of the time because it drives him to distraction. If we sleep in the same bed, he tells me I'm clicking, pokes or nudges me to try and make it stop. All the while I get cross and upset and neither of us get a good night's sleep.
It doesn't depend on state of health either. It happens when I don't have a cold. I don't drink alcohol very often, so that is unrelated too.
It's a big problem.
