Everytime I go to sleep, I wake up with a numb arm, why?!
Question: I sleep in a twin bed, and everytime i wake up im either sleeping on my arm or on my leg, this just happened recently.
Answers:
If you realize that the side you are sleeping on is the side that has the numbness, then you will probably realize that you are cutting off your own circulation. Not to worry, it sounds worse than it is. Try to train your body to sleep in such a way as not to roll onto an extremity. Try placing pillows at your sides under your arms while lying on your back. Try placing a pillow between your knees to support your upper leg if you must sleep on your side. Try a full length body pillow.
Sweet dreams.

well, the pressure on the arm keeps the blood from cycling properly, and results in a numb arm.
your matress may be getting old - check that out.
try sleeping on your back or front too
Well, maybe when you sleep, you sleep on your side, which is squishing your arm and slowing down the blood flow.
If u sleep on your arm the blood can't really circulate, so it goes to sleep (goes numb). It happens to everybody
unfortunately I have the same problem I went to the doctor about mine and she said I hard what is called Carple Tunnle sydrome it's a nerve in your arm that either has to much pressure on it like from being over weight or something or if you use your hands too much like play piano, peel potatos, ect. All of these can cause it I have to wear a wrist brace for like several hours a day. So it might be that or you are just sleeping on your arm wrong. Although I have found that when my arm goes to sleep I can hold it down by my side and shake it vigorously and it helps.
