Answer 2

I thin maybe sometimes you don't realize that you are laying on it. The slightest pinch of a nerve in your arm or hand can cause numbness. It might also be the mattress. If you lay on your side or back a certain way, it could pinch a nerve. To be on the safe side, I would talk to a doc.

Answer 3

It means that you are waking up with a numb feeling in your hands.

A doctor might give you a better explanation. Numbness is caused by pinched nerves, or bad nerves, NOT poor circulation like everyone thinks.

Do you see how many people answered "poor circulation"? That's why you shouldn't ask health questions on Yahoo. Numbness or "falling asleep" is caused by nerves, not circulation.

Answer 4

Your laying on your arm probably so it cuts off the blood to your hand so it goes numb. No big deal. After 10 minutes of being awake if its still numb see a doctor.

Answer 5

It could be a number of things. If you have a pinched nerve in your neck it could cause the numbness. If you are really tense your muscles could be pressing on the nerve. Another possibility is that you sleep with your wrists bent which can also cause numbness. If it is causing you problems, I would check with a doc and see what's up.

Answer 6

A Lack Of Vitamin B6

Symptoms of Vitamin B6 deficiency include sore mouth, sore tongue, weakness, and irritability.

Severe B6 deficiency can lead to low blood count and numbness and tingling in the hands, legs, and feet. Some patients may even develop seizures

Answer 7

if you sleep in a position where you pinch the nerves going to your hand that could happen. try this. when you first notice this, how hard is it to flex your fingers? if it is a nerve thing, then you shouldn't be able to move them very well at all. I woke up a couple times with my whole arm in that state, to the point where I could pick it up and it would drop with no resistance as though it were dead, but it went back to normal within a minute or two.

Answer 8

I have the same thing - In both hands and I see a great chiropractor. Some people swear by them and some think they are quacks. I works every time I see him. Then, I get myself out of whack again and have to see him again. About 2 times / year.

Answer 9

this could indicate that you are having circulation problems. You should go get it check out by a doctor as you may have a clot of something that is preventing blood flow. Good luck!

Answer 10

I agree with the what the guy above said about bad blood flow.
