There's actually an explanation for this? I thought it was just that after the first bite there was a bit of swelling so that further bites were that much more likely. But maybe that's not it at all.

I bite the inside of my cheeks when I sleep at night, but I also sleep on the side of my face/stomach a LOT.

Well, yes. The insides of my cheeks have the visible imprints of all that biting over the years. Not only that, I didn't realize that my tongue has teeth marks on the sides too. My acupuncturist (Pika) pointed out that the teeth marks indicate a swollen tongue, which, according to Traditional Chinese Medicine is a sign of low spleen energy.
I have no idea what the biting the insides of my cheeks means, though.

Does it mean you invented a new meaning to the term "sucking face"??
