what does it mean when your arms fall asleep when you sleep
Causes of Hands Fall Asleep While Sleeping. 1. Sleeping on Your Hand for Long. You are likely to experience a tingling arm or hand if you sleep on it for a long period. Your body weight will exert pressure on your nerves and disrupt the circulation of blood to your arm. Sleeping on your arm may compress the arteries and restrict the flow of blood with nutrients to your arm tissue. Consequently, your arm will not send signals to your brain or understand signals from your brain. Your arms or hands fall asleep while sleeping until normal blood circulation resumes.
