Why could cause my arm fall asleep while driving or doing normal activities?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A number of things: If it is both arms would consider whether it could be a neuropathy or a vascular problem. If this is a "paraplysis" would consider that this could be component of atonia found during certain stages of sleep. Bring up with sleep specialist in that situation so that testing can be performed.
