Sleeping curled in the 'T. rex position' can cause nerve compression, leading to numbness, tingling, and potential lasting nerve damage; changing sleep posture and using supportive barriers can help prevent these issues.
Waking up with your hands asleep can be caused by nerve compression from sleeping positions or underlying conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar nerve entrapment, or vitamin deficiencies. Changing sleep posture, using wrist braces, and monitoring symptoms can help, but persistent issues should be evaluated by a doctor to prevent long-term nerve damage.
Researchers have found that those who undergo nerve decompression surgery at certain sites in the body can be up to 70% more likely to have migraine than those with nerve decompression elsewhere. Nerves in the arms and hands can constrict around soft tissues and muscles, resulting in pain and loss of function. Different kinds of nerve compression in these areas affect from 5% to almost 9% of the population. Surgical decompression is a common treatment for the condition and can lead to complete or partial improvement of symptoms.
