I woke up in the last night at like 2 AM to my entire arm from elbow to hand being numb. I felt like I could take a sledge hammer to it and not feel a thing. I was actually getting worried as it was taking a bit longer than usual for the feeling to come back.
I know im cutting off the circulation to my hand/arm but if any anatomy majors are on, is there an explanation as to how this is happens?
def happens to me.
happens to me for the last 3 years or so. has limited the positions I can sleep in.
usually happens when you try giving yourself a reach-around while sleeping. Do you recall what you were dreaming about? Did it happen to be about playing a trombone in a quartet?
This happens when I fall asleep with a hot chick…then at some point during the night some fat ugly chick kicks the hot chick out of my bed and lays on my arm. Chicks dig me
Yup; happens a few times a year…
Normally happens when I end up sleeping on my stomach and for some reason am putting all my weight on that arm. Mine normally goes “dead” though… where I can’t move it, feel it, or anyting. It’s painfull as hell as it wakes up though.
Welcome to my world.My left arm has been numb for a yr and a half now and dr’s seem useless.It’s a pinched nerve and since it goes away for you, you are just aggavating it when you are sleeping.
Good reference article, Circulatory Relief. probably best way to deal with it in the morning.
i get this all the time. one time i my arm fell asleep while i was shitfaced and when i woke up it was curled in like it had died lol.
I normally would go into some redic. medical explanation but I will save you the trouble of reading a wall of text.
-Switch your sleep position
-If this does not solve the problem see a MD
-Sleeping on your arm restricts blood flow causing numbness
-Sitting there will not instantly cause blood to start flowing again, stand up for better results

Sounds like nerve damage, not much you can do with this.
Quickly! get that man some blue m&m’s
i was just telling my gf about this yesterday how it happens to me… kinda ironic
used to happen to me every night. I sleep with my arm under the pillow, and my head on top of the pillow, on top of my arm.
I got a memory foam pillow at Target and it hasn’t happened since :tup:
I do not look at this as a bad thing…you have to seize the opportunity when it arises.
Wake up in morning = morning wood…gets old and boring.
Wake up in morning + numb arm + morning wood = great way to start the day.
Bingo!
how about waking up with a cramped calf. holy shit does that hurt!
or waking up, but not being able to move or open your eyes. that is scary has hell.
In on this crew.
This one too. 
how sir? how?
Word. It’s not a problem, it’s a gift from God. Haven’t you ever heard of “the stranger”?
