How to stop clenching fists in sleep?

Oh, I've done that sometimes, especially if I'm really stressed from work! I find that doing some gentle hand stretches and a quick meditation before bed helps me relax my whole body. It might just be tension from the day carrying over into sleep.

My son used to do this! We noticed it was worse when he was stressed about exams. We tried warm baths before bed, and making sure his room was completely dark and quiet. Sometimes it's just about creating a more relaxed environment.

I used to wake up with sore hands because of clenching my fists. I panicked thinking it was something serious. But my doctor said it's often due to stress and suggested relaxation. After some basic stretching and calming down before bed, it slowly reduced. It's usually not a huge deal, but good to check.

Sometimes body tension like clenching can be related to stress, or sometimes even an imbalance. If it's a new thing, it might be worth mentioning to your doctor during a routine check-up, alongside any other symptoms. They can advise if any tests are needed.
