The distribution of nocturnal bruxing patterns in nine subjects was recorded and interpreted in accordance with current concepts of sleep physiology. Few bruxing events were seen in the first 2 h of sleep but peak periods were identified during the night. The findings suggested that bruxism and REM sleep were closely associated and pointed towards a central aetiology for bruxing activity.
记录了9名受试者的夜间磨牙模式分布情况，并根据当前睡眠生理学概念进行了解读。睡眠最初2小时内几乎未见磨牙事件，但夜间出现了高峰期。研究结果表明，磨牙症与快速眼动睡眠密切相关，并指向磨牙活动的中枢病因。
