\"CIMG3905\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last night, there was no kidding around. This was serious. I needed to attain sleep so I could get a baseline measurement. I was plenty tired around midnight, and put on the headband, with the volume set to zero. After about an hour of just lying there amid the fluffy covers, I started to realize I was on the road to insomnia for the second night in a row. I tried not to overthink it. But still, as the hours went by, I could not deny that I was simply “resting.” The little sound emitter was still making little random buzzing noises, which I was not pleased with.<\/p>\n

I made myself count (made it to 330 before getting bored).<\/p>\n

I did body relaxation techniques.<\/p>\n

I free-associated Rat City Roller Girl names. (Bruise Willis, Joan of Ache, Smasha O’bomber, it gets worse)<\/p>\n

Then, at 2:30am, I took a desperate shot of Kraken rum. By that time, I had somehow reached 21 grinding events.<\/p>\n

I think the rum did the trick. I slept clear through until about 9:45am. I took off the headband so I could get at least another unencumbered hour. When I awoke and looked at the display, it read 52 grinding events, for a total of 99 seconds. So it’s likely that my grinding events are very short. Since the meter only records when you’ve been doing it for 2 seconds, with this average clenching time of 1.9 seconds, there’s really no way for me to be having longer events, since shorter ones would not be recorded to balance them out.<\/p>\n

Another thing I noticed: the metal sensor\/sound emitter in in the middle of the headband creates a faint circular outline on my forehead. When I rub it, it’s a little sore. It’s like my third eye. I hope it goes away.<\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>I sent a message this morning to Lee Weinstein at customer service at stopgrinding.com and received a very quick response. The buzzing I have been hearing is indeed a factory defect, due to a fingerprint left on the circuit board during assembly. Lee will be sending me a replacement headband which should arrive in just a few days. I am very pleased at how quickly and effectively I got a response and solution to my problem.<\/p>\n
