I don't do it when I sleep, but I'm always doing it when I'm awake. It makes my jaw sore, and it hurts my teeth. I only started doing it a little over a month ago, but now I do it non-stop. Does anyone have any ideas how I can stop doing it?

Your dentist can fit you with a brace that you wear over your teeth.

You could also check if you are on any medication that could cause it. I used to be on something that made me tense my jaw.

Agree. There are medication side effects that can cause involuntary mouth and jaw movement. See Tardive Dyskenesia, etc:

I would suggest sharing this concern with your physician or pharmacist to see what is going on.
Best of luck to you.
