A member asked:

Can sleeping in certain position cause you to feel numbness in the toes and fingers?

Numbness: It is possible. If you are sleeping in positions that rest heavy pressure on blood vessels or even kink them off, this would cause a lack of blood flow to the nerves thereby causing the areas downstream to become numb.

Yes: It is possible. If this continues to occur i would recommend you see a neurologist.
