Could be as simple as using too many pillows.You definitely have something compressing the brachial plexus as you sleep. May want to try rolling a small pillow or towel and placing it under your neck when you sleep. If pillows are not the problem, then you are developing a chronic cervical problem and it should be attended to.

I too have had my lady parts take a nap. . .definitely a strange feeling but everything seems to wake up nicely if I get up and move around. Usually only happens if I am sitting too long.  I personally don't worry about it, though it is usually a bit inconvenient (and funny too).

Although the numbness may be due to excessive use of caps, you should probably go see a doctor.

If it hurts to breath when you awake, (I'm assuming that's what you meant) lol, then you really need to see a doctor.  It sounds to me that you might have a sist, or a growth of some kind.  Your body is waking you up to alarm you that something isn't right.  Please see a doctor today.  Ron Couch

this is called sleep paralysis.  it happens when your mind wakes up faster than your body, and it is still stuck in sleep mode.. paralyzed so that you don't act out your dreams.  you will find this almsot always happens near the morning rather than earlier in the night, and you will usually be sleeping in a position with your back flat on the bed.    it is indeed scary, whenever this happens to me, i try screaming and am unable to, i also feel like i am suffocating sometimes because i try to breathe and it doesn't come regular

SWEETIE, YOU ARE FAR TOO YOUNG TO BE HAVING CIRCULATION PROBLEMS. AS FOR THE SLEEPING TOO MUCH AND FEELING TIRED.....THERE ARE SOOOO MANY REASONS THAT COULD BE CAUSING THAT. DEPRESSION, vitamin deficiency, anxiety, diabetes, a virus, anemia , Honey there are soooo many things that it could be. as for your fingers....that could be carpal tunnel syndrome. when we use our hands a lot it can cause a circulation problem. but Sweet heart, if you were my daughter....your butt would be seeing a doctor TODAY !!!  Tell mom or dad Honey. you need to have some tests done. I hope this helps , but the doc is the one ya need to be asking such serious questions to. Good luck and GBU\n                                                             concerned ...Deanne

It probably IS nerve damage or nerve pinching of some kind. The fact that the pain travels up your arms reveals that. I'm no doctor but my father is a chiropractor (some don't believe in chiropractors, I know). We have patients with pinched nerves all the time, though it is almost always starting in their low back and going down to the legs. Starting in the hands IS odd, but it sounds a lot like the cases we have. We have had a few cases similiar to this one, but chiropractic cannot do a whole lot for it. Ultrasound is our main therapy with some adjustments the Chiropractor does.\n\nMore information is obviously required, as I have no idea your age or if you have even seen a doctor about this (I would assume you have, but if you have not, GO SEE ONE!), and the fact that I am NOT a doctor. Also, you say no weakness or tingling, but how about numbness?\n\nWhatever it turns out to be, I hope you find an answer and a solution!

maybe you are having an OBE (out of body experiance) You arent fully asleep when this happens.

There are many things that cause numbness or strange sensations in the body.  I have some of this and have been checked by several doctors, but learned nothing. You can have a loss of circulation or a pinched or hurt nerve.  Have just tried to find something on the web, but no luck. You may want to check with a doctor, but the thing I try to do is get enough exercise and drink at least eight glasses of water every day.

Sounds like carpal tunnel syndrome, but it's wise to ask your doctor to rule out anything else more sinister.  \n\nMany people find it difficult to sleep at night with this due to flexion of the wrists during sleep, which compresses the median nerve at the wrist.  Try wearing wrist supports at nighttime, but don't fasten them too tightly!  It could take up to 2 weeks for this to feel better at night, so if it doesn't work initially, hang in there and continue to wear them for a couple of weeks.  \n\nLet your doctor know if this works or not, as it will help them to diagnose you correctly.  As mentioned previously, and EMG nerve test will give a conclusive diagnosis.  This test is generally not given at a GP's office.  Over the counter pain killers generally do not help nerve pain much.

Sounds like you need a DR.,opinion not a bunch of strangers on a computer.I know someone with the same prob. except it's the whole left arm and hand.I guessed a nerve pinched off or maybe poor circulation, but hey I'm no DR.

Depends, but there's a stage of 1/2 asleep where if I get woken from, I get this shaky, pulsating surging feeling that I sometimes can't shake for hours!

Dustbegone is right. Pain and numbness are symptoms of nerve compression. Other possible things you might experience include weakness of your fingers as well as a tingling sensation as if there are ants are crawling over them. These signs are often most obvious when your arm's been immobile for a few hours such as when you wake in the morning like in your case.\n\nCarpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common form of nerve compression in the arm and is due to involvement of a nerve called the median nerve in the wrist joint. This typically occurs in women aged 30-60 and other risk factors include previous wrist injuries, rheumatoid arthritis and premenstrual fluid retention. \n\nIf CTS is what you have, you probably will have noticed that your little finger is not affected like the rest. If you have accompanying pain in your neck, then the other possibility is cervical spondylosis ie. degenerative changes of the neck.\n\nI suggest you see your doctor who will be able to tell you more after he examines your hand for the precise distribution of involvement and confirm the diagnosis. CTS is a common and benign condition and treatment is usually straight forward. Splinting of the wrist with a brace as Dustbegone mentioned can be very helpful. If symptoms persist, a "H&L" injection or simple surgical procedure to release the pressure on the median nerve may be considered.

Probably a pinched nerve.  I had a numb back before, and that's what I was told.  It eventually went away.  The only way to be sure, though, is to see a doctor, but you already know that.

has this been happening regularly to u? do not neglect your health. first try to rule out if its anything o do with the position of sleeping at night. if u do not manage to figure out anything best would be to consult a physician on this matter.

Your blood pressure may be raising or it just may simply may be the amount of pressure applied on your hands while you are asleep.

I experience numbness in my feet while I am exercising, and wonder the cause also, this would cut out poor circulation as the cause, therefore I think it is just a nerve being pinched somewhere.\n\nIf it is a constant numbness definatley see a doctor.
