Arm numb while sleeping?

Question:

Have you ever slept on your arm and woken up in the night to grab it and freak out because you can't feel anything and you swear it is someone else's arm? This could be a good thing.however; it is quite painful when you try to move your arm. Any thoughts?

Answers:
First of all, how are you sleeping? This is due to lack of circulation to the area and yes it does hurt!. Light massage until the circulation is returned and change of position always helps. Try sleeping with a pillow on each side of you to rest your arms on. It is both comfortable and will prevent this from happening.kind of like sleeping in an arm chair!

Other Answers:
Well the 1st thing that comes to mind is that you are sleeping on it in a weird position.
Try using pillows to keep you from sleeping on it. I know it can be a little freaky when this happens. Happens to me a lot, I invested in some really good pillows now it rarely happens
