A member asked:
Will sleeping on your arm the wrong way cause shoulder stiffness, if so how long does it unusually last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Sleeping on your arm can cause shoulder stiffness. If you have no other problems and given you are younger I would not expect this to last more than a day or two.
