Tongue biting during sleep can be for the same reasons as during the day. It could happen by accident as during the day however it could also be for a mixture of other reasons which would potentially need to be investigated by your General Practitioner. To speculate what happens during your sleep time would be inaccurate and not something we can do at this stage but certainly worth discussing with your General Practitioner. The dentist is unlikely to be able to help you with this unless you have any outstanding dental issues such as; sharp teeth, cracked or chipped teeth or loose teeth which may be contributing to your problem.
