I had this same issue years ago. I got a mouthguard and for a long time (over a year?) I would wake up because I was grinding on the mouthguard. I haven't used the mouthguard for about 5 years at this point. Every once in a while I will wake up in the morning and discover that I've been chewing on the inside of my mouth. But then it'll stop of it's own accord. I think the mouthguard trained my body not to act in that way.
I would say just to continue using the mouthguard - even if you are chewing/grinding on it and maybe it will stop eventually?
