Answer
Hi,
 She is probably wearing her teeth down. This is not a big deal because this is something they should do. I really don't know why she would do it when your asleep, it might be because she feels more comfortable in the dark then at daytime. To help this you can bring her a log for chewing on or a chew toy. Thanks for your question and I hoped I helped.
