A lot of times I have pain in my jaw when I wake up in the mornings, why is that?

Pain in the jaw could be a result of clenching or grinding your teeth. You should be examined by a dentist to see why this is taking place. One solution could be wearing a hard plastic night guard when sleeping to protect the teeth and the joint of the jaw against this type of pressure.
