Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 1 | Am I crazy to wonder if my husband's tongue-biting IN HIS SLEEP could indicate some growth that wasn't previously there? He has been awakened recently (about 5 times) because he bit his tongue hard enough to make it bleed! It always happens on the same side of his mouth. He has been a smoker all his life and is now 53. Have any of you ever heard of such a "symptom"?
