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.

Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

My jaw joint goes awry occaisionally and I bite my cheeks.

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.

Yep...and I really don't like it. It's not just in eating too!

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.

Avoid "cold" and sweet foods. And get acupuncture.

What does the spleen do and how is that in relation to ones tongue?
I actually did have problems with biting my cheek and my tongue but that was all to do with facial abnormality (if anyone dares snicker, I will look defiant!). I had jaw reconstructive surgery last year and no more bite marks.
