What can i do to stop my arms and hands from going numb while sleeping?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wear a splint.: You are likely pinching a nerve in your arm somewhere along its course - often at the wrist although other courses are possible. Try wearing a splint to hold your wrist in neutral position.
