This could be any number of harmless things.

Firstly, the jaw is sensitive to tension. We often brace our jaw against anxious feelings. If you're tense, chances are your jaw is feeling the strain. It could even just be the way you slept. Is your pillow comfortable? You could also have been tensing in your sleep or grinding your teeth. People do this in their sleep. Then again, it could just be a random mild pain you've tuned into as an anxious person and have therefore made worse.

As always, see a doctor if you're really concerned.

All the best.
