my hands fall asleep at night if i have them positioned above my head
AnswerThe most common thing that can cause your hands to fall asleep at night is probably just sleeping on them wrong (ie.. wrist is bent in awkward position while you sleep)If it keeps occurring though,especially with morning symptoms of numbness and tingling,and you have risk factors of repetitive hand use,Diabetes,obesity,Arthritis etc... you may have carpal tunnel syndrome(CTS).A condition caused from pressure or damage to the median nerve that runs through your wrist joint.
Existing CTS can be aggravated by sleeping with wrists in a bent position,then when you wake up,you shake them to "get them awake."
Most people assume (incorrectly) they have a blood circulation problem,when in fact it's a crimped nerve problem.Sleeping in night or nocturnal braces often help.

As strange as it might seem try stopping drinking coffee or tea and its not the Caffine so I include DeCaffinated as well. Once I stopped so did the problem.

∙ 11y agoWhile you sleep, your hand does not move. This slows down the flow of blood, which eventually will make your hand sleep.
Hope this helps! :)
