I wake up with a numb arm and hand. I sleep on my side but it's the top arm that's been going numb, not the one I lay on.
This has happened 5ish times in the last few months, never before.
I'm not squishing my arm or hand and not putting it in a weird position. It's just there on my side, maybe with my hand resting lightly on the mattress in front of me.
It's happened on both sides (i.e., when I sleep on my right, my left arm goes numb and vice versa).
It's not solidly numb, just slightly numb and tingly.
The other times, it's gone away within 10-15 minutes but today I'm feeling a little residue several hours later.
This time, it's mostly my thumb, index finger, and my wrist. I didn't keep track of exact location the other times.
I'm a mid-50s, very healthy, cis woman, exercise regularly, etc. |
