A member asked:
I feel an irresistible urge to curl my toes and fingers when i'm laying down for any extended period of time, why could this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stretching: Is something many animals like to do. There is some evidence it helps rehabilitate muscles, and keeps our musculoskeletal system in better shape. Stretching, like yawning, is pre-wired in our brain. If you enjoy curling your fingers and toes, well then, curl away and enjoy!
