I woke up couldn’t even move my right arm. It felt like it wasn’t even part of body; it just flopped around when i moved my shoulder. Only lasted about 5 seconds though
Marco Mark Productions same here with my left arm and it was hanging behind my head so I had to pull it towards me with my right hand
5 seconds? My entire arm from shoulder to finger tips was dead numb. Scariest thing. I couldn't feel or move anything. Until I tried my hardest to move my fingers and slowly it came back. Took a few minutes. Felt like I had a rubber noodle hanging from my shoulder.
I just had this myself last night and have had it happen before.my arm was like a dead piece of meat hanging at my side when I woke up. Had to use my other hand to shake it awake again. Scary stuff. Glad to know that it’s mostly benign.
Marco Mark Productions That’s happened to me loads of times 🙀
Same thing happened to me last week...such a freaky feeling ..not fun ..
I wish my doctor will go this length to explain why my arms fall asleep. He just said it happens after chemotherapy... And how do I stop that? NO answer. Well thank you guys for your videos! Sometimes I feel frustrated with these MDs with no answers and no solutions!! Just pills...
Check out Andrew Kaufman, he talked about how mainstream doctors don't even know how the body works and they are just prescribing drugs.
I feel you, on my last doctors appointment. I told my doctor about my right hand, always falling asleep and the reason why I think it does. They didn’t say a word about it. My first seizure while driving in 2016 with my right hand on the wheel it always fall asleep and feels numb, since that day
💉
Haha, I always sleep just exactly how you said we shouldn't. Thanks!
Me too
This has happened to me so many times. Scariest thing. From the top of my shoulder down to my finger tips dead numbness. I can't feel anything or move my arm. I literally have to pick it up with my other and shake it to wake it back up. One time it took a minute or slow and it slowly started to wake up. Scary.
I sleep on my side sometimes or flat on my back. It only seems to happen when I sleep on my side which makes sense the way they described why it happens.
Same exact thing with me. I was sleeping on my stomach with my arm above my head when I woke up with a dead arm. Wasn’t sure if it was a circulation thing or a nerve thing. From this video, it seems like it’s a nerve impingement.
Ye same has happened to me many times! At the first time i panicked and tought I was gonna lose my arm 😂
I woke up 30 minutes ago and I felt like if my entire right arm was disconnected
I bought a purple mattress level 3, and I never had this happen again.
Took a week or so to get used to it, but worth it in my opinion. I had a memory foam before and I sleep hot as it is. Purple I don't get hot on it so that's another plus.

This happens often. I scoot to the edge of the bed and dangle and shake my arm. Usually I'm fine within 20 seconds or so. You guys are awesome. Love the humour.
This happens to me almost every night, to both arms and it doesn't matter which way I sleep because I will unknowingly toss and turn.
how are you now?
Username3544 I’ve been having this same problem for the past few days, nothing seems to be working, and my arms and hands tingle all damn day😡
You need to go see a good massage therapist
Muffy Chao how long does tingling last after that happend to you
@@TheHalusis After following the advice from the video and keeping my arms down when I sleep and stretching before bed, I rarely, if ever have my arms fall asleep on me. If your arms are still tingling after going numb try swinging them around for a second to get the blood flowing again.
I also think eating healthy and making sure your getting all your vitamins and nutrients and exercising regularly to keep your body nimble can also help.
You've relieved so much anxiety for me. Your videos are fun and informative. I am not even religious but BLESS YOU BOTH! You're absolutely amazing.
R J bru I got this last night I was freaking out 🗿😂
You aren't religious , that's why you're anxious!
My depression and anxiety just ended after switching from Atheism to Islam and enjoying my life to full now❤
The video is helpful. One of the scarriest ive felt but probably because of improper position of my left arm while sleeping.
It’s when you sleep on one of your arms and it kinda just flops around when you wake up but only lasts around ten seconds
I love these guys! So informative but entertaining! Best way to learn!:) Thank you!
I like the way you explain, very simple and easy to understand
I like how you guys make videos , you guys take pride in what you do and I think that's awesome
U don’t realize how heavy your arms are until u can’t move it
Both my arms fall asleep laying flat on my back 🤔
OMG mine too
This is why I came to the video but nothing about it came up
Same here if you find anything let me know
Me too ! What the hell is going on
Yeah exactly what I came here for, they'll be laying next to me but still go numb. Nothings getting cut off
Is there any PT to help get over your arm falling asleep when it continues to bother you throughout the day and hasn't recovered from the nerves being pinched. Do you have a follow-up video for this problem?
This started happening to me after I turned 50. I can't sleep on my stomach anymore because my arms will go numb. The first time it happened was to my right arm. I tried moving it but it was just dead weight. It took about 20 seconds for the sensation to come back. It felt very odd to have a dead limb.
50 I'm only 35 and this has started from before 20 years old
I'm curious of why when I lay on my side the arm that is facing towards the ceiling loses feeling.
Mine does that. I can’t lay anyway without it going numb. But it’s only when I sleep
Because yall are laying your head on it an dit is stopping the blood from coming in ur hand
@@Pankakes-ou5rx mine does this too and I’m getting worried, did you ever figure out what it was?
@@Chadchadersonthe3rd I never did, it just eased up over a few weeks and eventually stopped. I still have it sometimes. I’m sorry I couldn’t be more of help!
@@Pankakes-ou5rx It in your neck. Mine did that before I had a cervical fusion.
Bob and brad are amazing 💯
I woke up at like 2 AM and I thought my arm died and it flopped around and I couldn’t move it. I got so scared and I went right back to bed.
Are you okay now? Or still have any kind of issue??
This has just started happening to me but I’m never laying on the affected arm. Either on my opposite side or my back. And the numbness can be on and off for days. My MRIs are clear
Are you okay now? My CT Scan is also clear but this happens to me , did you find any solution?
I see. I have been having this issue for a few days. Several times a night. Its mainly my right arm. Even when the pressure is not on that arm. But I did see the sleeping positions I like to use that is causing it. Thanks for the help.
Not only did this give me an idea of why mine do this at night, but I think this tells me why my hand gets numb When I am a shooting a camera. So it’s the bend in my wrist when I hold the camera for up to 15 minutes at a time that’s doing it!
You showed a few postures NOT to sleep in. What's the proper posture?
I've had numb arms several nights a week for years. I'm only 35. I don't drink. I've experimented with different postures and different pillows, even no pillow. I can't figure out the right formula.
Exactly! Thanks for asking..... I would like to know too
The story of my life! I'm only 26..I was waiting for the proper way..That's the reason I'm here!
Honey you need to go see a good massage therapist.
Ya, same. last night I woke up and I tuned over, but I had no arm! My entire left arm was numb lol. This video is helpful.
It is amazing that simple moves can cause so much pain & trouble.:-( Thanks for another video from the most famous physical therapists on the internet! ;-)
What if the top arm fall asleep, not the arm you are sleeping on when sleep on the side?
I know that happened to me before and that freaked me out cause that never happens..wth
I woke up and though I’d snapped my arm in half with how jelly like it felt lol
OMG SAME I WAS LIKE WTF IS THIS AHAHAA
Same and it was ice cold too in my case
@@finnjacobs yeah same its the first time it happend to me and it was cold as fuck I got so scared because could not move it
Thank you, You have explained it so well, from few days I was feeling numbness and tingling even in day time, how to cure it?
This has happened to me multiple times while I'm sleeping, but sometimes it's more than just a numbness or pinched nerve. It almost seems to be in paralysis and if I physically pick up my arm with my hand, it seems to be limp, almost without a bone, and I can literally slam it against the wall and I won't feel a thing. Is this normal?
Isn't this due to poor circulation? I've been sleeping the same way for decades, yet just started to have this problem very recently, after I started adding more fats to the diet.
physicaltherapyvideo thanks I was so scared at first cause I too couldn’t feel my arm at all as if it wasn’t mine
That happened to me when I was a kid, super scary! I had to pick it up with my other hand like Bob and Brad described.
How did you solve this? Or there's still an issue??
So, where is the fix?
Thank you 🙏
I remember the first time my arm fell asleep and I could move it I was so scared I'm mean it's still freaky but especially after knowing why it happens it's not so bad
King Le IKR I almost pee’d myself
My question is why did I not ever have this problem with my arms going numb when I sleep when I was young and now that I am almost 60 I have a lot of problems with it?
But... Have you ever woken up, having your neck sleeping(or something?) causing it make your head feel like it's just falling off somewhere in the direction of gravity? Happens to me often (once or twice a month)when my head falls of pillow when I sleep. It also makes me feel very nauseous at this very moment. It's almost like falling down out of sudden and adrenaline rushes up to me as well
Hey can you offer some insight into things that can alleviate bruxism and jaw clenching?
I sleep in the last position you showed and I still wake up with numb arms and hands.
excellent video guys and the best of all is that you make it easy to understand. Thanks!
How are u suppose to sleep ???
😂😂😂 I laughed when he said he'd flail his arms around when they were dead. I did that with one arm up other night. Was a strange.
You know I've noticed that I have bilateral but usually more the time my right side of my body goes numb it usually starts with my foot to my leg to my arm to my face and my head and can last for a good while usually ending with the numbness in my head. I've also noticed for years now my leg is going to sleep and definitely my hands more than usual sometimes I wake up freaking out because both of my hands are numb.
It’s been happening to me every night lately
Thank you two
I sleep on my back with both hands on chest but still both hands get numbed. Does the same happen to anybody else?
Been getting these same too, as your issue been resolved?
Thank you.
Love the video Guys Thank you, informative and humorous
Thank you guys
Today i woke up with my entire arm numb i am 15, I had to hold my arm for 10-20 seconds idk then it woke up again, It was pretty weird and i was worried but this video helped my understand more thanks.
Ok you guys have to keep doing these videos! You are amazing.
why is it sometimes when I wake up and am extremely tired physically in a sense. Not tired in the sore sense, nor of the mind, but I can't seem to lift my arms no matter how much I try, and when I do manage to move them I slowly gain strength.
I think because your still sleep but you think your awake so basically your trying to lift your hand when your sleep
It’s scary when you wake up in the middle of the night, can’t feel your arm, it’s cold, and you’re just flopping it around.
How often does this happen to you?
i love you guys, have helped me with almost every questions ive ever had
So what can i do to stop this ?
I usual like sleeping with my hands up, and rotate on my stomach in the middle of the night.
(Like a officer said Freeze, put your hands up!)
It takes up to 30-40 mins to feel normal again, even when I sleep coffin style I get the tingling hands and it wakes me through out the night.
I cry until they go to normal and sometimes can't even hold a spoon or a pencil 🙃
What would you recommend as the ideal sleeping position?
Thanks so much! You guys are the best. Luckily, I already do the things you suggest.
I had Saturday night palsy but no drink or drugs I guess I just fell asleep hard. Actually severed my radial nerve. My wrist just flopped for 6 months. Apparently I got off lucky it usually lasts at least 18 months.
I'm only 30 years old and my left arm and hand is always numb, or with tingling pain every time I wake up..or even when taking a short nap before work. No matter which side I lay on. Im scared I don't know what to do
I sleep sideways and is always my top arm that numbs been trying a lot of things until someone suggested it could be from the cold, it help a little to wear a sweater but now is only my hand I’m going to check if I’m twisting it when I’m sleeping
you guys are awesome!! love these videos : )
When I woke up my right arm started hurting I started to cry Cus I was nervous that it was broken same problem with my leg that I slept on reasons why I keep falling and bumping into walls I’ll sleep Normal tonight hope I won’t wake up with pain.
OMGGGGG here I am again for some weird question I googled and BOOM B&B have the answer. Lol so random.
TY B&B! Stay warm and safe my family depends on both of you!
how about when you touch vibrating objects for an amount of time, that will make the part of your body to go numb when you touch that vibrating object.
So its not because of cutting of the blood to your arm? Thats what i always thought it was and tbh that always scared the sh*t out of me because i was worried that it was causing the tissue to gradually breakdown...
coolest doctors ever
This morning at 5:00 am my left arm was so tingly and sweaty and you know those designs on your pillows that are big and it gets all over you? That’s what happened to me it lasted about 15-20 minutes it hurt so bad
You Check the dr
I just feel this today
I just woke up with my wrist feeling numb from laying on my arm, it’s been 3 hours and still no improvement.... I tried shadow boxing, jogging in place, doing jumping jacks, taking a hot shower to atleast try to improve circulation, still nothing
Get a doctor
Thanks
My arm fell asleep one time and i couldnt feel it i had to pick it up with my other hand and i used to wake up and my hand would be sleep and i would try to move it and it would hurt
Same I thought I was having a stroke for second lol It was scary. I couldn’t move my left arm at all and I couldn’t feel. I needed to use my other arm to move it around. It took me like 2 minutes to be able to start moving it again. It was frightening to experience that.
@@totallyrightbro3371exactly same happened with me and I was also thinking about stroke , did it ever happen again??
Thank you, this was helpful! So how do I stop myself curling my hands in my sleep? It's gotten really bad over the past couple of weeks and I've been having nerve pain and numbness for hours every single day :( would a special pillow help?
Thank you!
I do this too..sleep on my side . Toss and turn from numbness all night. Using one pillow has kinda helped
I curl my hands when I sleep too. Lol
Hi can you demonstrate about muscle cramps especially in the legs,thanks
I have soine spine damage and metallosis. Ya my collarbone bent too hmmm. My bad surgery cuts of 2 major arteries. Man medical science needs to improve. Peace
Very informative. I wake up middle night with throbbing pain in my arm,elbow down. I get up walk around for a minute or 2 and it seems to help or sitting up. Thought it was a circulation issue. Now thinking the position of arm is the cause compressing nerve? Would meloxican be useful to take at night
I mean is it bad if it occasionally happens? It doesn’t always happen but it happens like maybe once a week.
Great but how do we break this habit after years and years or how to we stop doing it. I can't really fall asleep unless my arm is under my pillow
For some reason, my body will occasionally roll itself over onto one my arms. And once I wake up, one of my arms won't move for 10 seconds. Afterwards, one of them is sore.
Hello, I usually sleep on my belly and am waking up with my arm numb, and todays day my hands were a little cold….why? is there any other underlying problem that causes that??
My husband’s arms fall asleep many nights out of the week. They fall get tingly & attempt to get numb while he drives too. But they get so numb at night that it’s painful & interferes with his sleep. It’s not good.
I’m 16 and I woke up with a numb arm and numb leg and I’m really panicked, is this normal or should I go to the doctors?
Similar thing happens to me. I think it’s normal.
Is Neuromuscular therapy the solution or should one get an MRI to fix this issue? Thanks.
I sleep on my back or sideways.
My foot went numb ending at the foot and starting at the ankle I fell asleep on the school bus and just one foot would not move I thought I was dying because I tried walking and it started rolling and I was tripping but I didn’t feel pain it was in positions that just won’t happen if it’s not asleep
When you wake up and move the limb, you can feel it coming back to life.. Does anyone get crazy tingling/ pins and needles when it's returning?
Yes that happens to me if that happens to you it’s a good sign it means that your blood is going back to your hand so it’s fine
I woke up from my arm being like a greater than symbol and I couldnt move my arm for about 5 seconds.
I woke up to holding myself up with my left arm in almost a plank position and I couldn't feel the entire thing.
What about when an arm doesn’t go numb or tingle? It’s more like the feeling of restricted blood flow? Like it’s not nerve situation? It’s hard to explain because it happens when I’m still half asleep. My mind isn’t fully awake to remember it well.
It was a weird feeling. And they way it slowly wakes up from shoulder down to finger tips. Its like your body is growing a new limb!
Mine fall asleep 100% when I sleep on my back. Never when I’m on my side. They are inoperable for 1hr+ after I wake up..
I try to sleep with my arms down like they said but it doesn’t work. My arms have been going numb for the past 6 years. My right arm doesn’t go numb as easily but sometimes it does when I sleep on my side
Some people blame their medications for this numbness in arms and feet. I think they should have their neck and spine checked out first. I have had serious falls that were never checked out, been waking up recently with one arm numb,while laying on my right side , then laying on left side the right arm was numb, This morning woke up with both arms numb, no pain , no tingling, just numb in arms and hands and fingers, still having a problem getting feeling back in tip of thumb and index finger. Just hope it's not from my blood pressure meds but just could be a coincidence. Lately my neck , shoulders and upper back has been hurting so much I can hardly walk around in the stores while shopping. Also have lower back pain.
I woke up and i couldnt move my arms and i just flail them around trying to get out of bed
So how exactly are we supposed to sleep???
I've woken up before and I couldn't feel my left arm. I couldn't even move my shoulder joint. I had fallen asleep with my arm above my head, so even the nerves at my shoulder were asleep. I had to feel around with my other hand to try to find my arm. In my sleepy daze I thought my arm had fallen off because it wasn't at my side and I couldn't feel it or move it lol
Evey night my hand falls asleep. Even if i dont sleep on it. Why? Can it damage my hand forever?
I also get fire in my elbow
I got up today looking for my arm under my pillow. I was in complete shock
My numbness is in the arm that I'm not laying on. Always my left arm
Mine does it even in the middle of the day and it is esteem pain
This happened to me one time this year...
But I was sleepy and had to use the bathroom, so I didn’t give a crap that my arm died.
Did you get it checked? Or still have this issue??
mine only happens when I work out... my arms will fall asleep if I don't stretch my biceps
I am a right side sleeper and my left arm and down the left side of my hand get numb. I am not sleeping on that side though. I do sleep on two pillows and wonder if it could be some kind of nerve compression in my neck. What is the best way to position your arms if you are a side sleeper?
the one on the right is in the show Chicago fire!!!
It happens to you because when ur sleeping u might be on top of ur hand and it blocks ur blood cells
