Sleep : It is importnt to get 7-10 hours sleep. A more restful sleep is if you go to sleep at approximately the same time every night.And no you cannot make up sleep the nextday for sleep lost.

I slept on my hand. It's been days & it's still asleep/numb. It feels more weak than numb. I'm left-handed. I can't write, do makeup/hair. I can make a fist. But my wrist goes limp if I try picking something up. No pain. Just weak & slightly numb?
