The other night I fell asleep in an awkward position, and when I woke up, my left arm did not work. It wasn't asleep with that tingly feeling... it was just hanging there. After a couple of minutes it came back to life and now it's fine, but I assume that sleeping on top of my arm cut off the oxygen flow to it or something.

Would it be possible to sleep like that and cause permanent damage? It was pretty weird to have a lifeless left arm for a few minutes...

ive done that quite a few times


one time I had to actually take my left arm and roll over my right arm because it had gone dead from being laid on all night, came back in like a min though

Sounds kind of like those situations where some people wake up but can't move at all for a while. Just a transition thing from deep sleep to good morning, America. Was your arm, like, discoloured at all?

It's due to lack of blood flow because you restricted it.

Nope, it looked normal, except for being totally useless. It was just very weird because I don't normally sleep that well anyway, but I slept really hard and then noticed this right when I woke up.

I guess I can't bitch too much though... if other parts of my body were limp and I actually fit into the demographic targeted by most of the spam I get, I'd be depressed.
