I know I have bruxism but I don't know how often

does it usually happen every night or only from time to time

In addition to night guard, anything I can do to cure or relieve bruxism

If you sleep in the same room as someone else, they'll be able to hear it, it may even wake them up. It sounds a bit like nails on a chalkboard, back and forth for many minutes at a time. Perhaps they'd be able to tell you how often you do it.

Bruxism is a common side effect of drugs/medication. Look into the side effects of what you are taking, and consider different drugs or ceasing consumption of those substances.

Some interesting approaches to treating bruxism are listed here:

I think the occlusive device is foolish as it would be a bulky life-long device and is not compatible with people with low salivary function or sleep apnea.

The low cost mouthguard may be your safest and cheapest bet.
