Re: Sleep Number Bed & Hand gloves/from ken

June 28, 2006

Mine also freeze at night really bad....they used to get numb overnight

until I started making sure I slept in the braces I have. Doc says mine

is Raynaud's, hands and feet do it any time of day/night...like

popsicles, literally! But it's worse at night. I'd love to try these

gloves out and see if they'll help the problem.

Shanna,

My raynauds are problem less than your and night is bad enough oxygen monitors

often won't work. I have found reasonable comfortable position for sleeping. I

usually lie on my side with the next to the bed hand under my clothes next to my

shoulder. Some sleepware this is up the arm to the shoulder and some through

the front. The other arm I put my hand next to my scalp under the hair.

Somehow I usually can keep both hands next to my body. I too am looking for

more info about those gloves.
