Re: hands going numb during sleep... positioning..

[Guest guest]

My hands go numb when I sleep too, but mostly when I sleep with them under the

pillow or bent and above my head. If I try to sleep with them straight down,

this doesn't happen as much; I was told it doesn't happen as much w/ them

straight because of circulation - blood flow is not as restricted.

Also - I know several people WITHOUT CMT who have this same problem because of

their circulation being restricted to the hands by sleeping on them or w/ them

above the head/under the pillow.

I do have some hand weakness and not a lot of muscle in my hand but I don't

think I have carpal tunnel yet.

Peace, Marti
