If i sleep with my elbow down semi dangling off the bed for 6 hours can it cause permanent nerve damage? my elbow was resting on bed and the rest of arm was dangling. i woke up with my neck and arm sore & arm hurting a bit?

If you do not have numbness or tingling in the arm on waking up, no nerve is being compromised by your sleeping position. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health! Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/healt
