Muscle tone: Our muscle tone decreases while asleep and I think your diminished hand muscle tone while in bed is related to this. Since you're not having spells of loss of muscle tone during the rest of the time, I don't think you have any neurologic disorder. If you still have concerns a neurologist could evaluate and advise you.
