How can i sleep well with a splint on my left wrist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Splint: Make sure is not too tight, don't sleep on your affected wrist, place your wrist over you belly or chest. May use a pillow on your side in case you place your wrist by your side.

I woke after good sleep to find my left hand and fingers (apart from little finger ) numb and tingling like 'pins and needles'. No pain but 3rd time in 18 months this has happened. It always clears by end of work ( I'm a barber)... Should I worry ?
