What causes my finger to numb and my body to shake while im asleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many things: Ehen we sleep it is not uncommon to compress nerves and blood vessels and wake up with arm or hand tingling or numbness. It probably means nothing unless it gets worse or happens during the day.
