Bros, why does this happen to me and what does it mean?

[BrothaBill]

I hear you. Your take on it definetly makes sense. I have wondered about this issue for years (since it happened to me).

Just a dialectic here and certainly not a challenge, but you mentioned that one of the functions of tossing and turning in your sleep is to assist in a relatively uniform circulation.

When and only when this phenomenon was happening to me, I would almost always wake up completely off of my futon and on the floor, sometimes on the other side of my room. I never sleep walked, however.

Now, if you toss and turn for the purpose you stated AND my theory about parasympathetic/hypertrophic interaction is correct, it would follow that during that time my body, in an attempt to better circulate my 'hungry' limbs, would toss and turn to the extreme degree that it did.

In short, some of your statements suggest, at least to me, that my thinking may be accurate on this. Based only on my personal experience, of course.

Well I havent heard your thinking stated in a textbook so I cant comment on its validity as anything more than just a theory no matter how well thought out it is. I have no clue if that is correct or not and it may be part of the mechanism that the body uses for various reasons. I just cant say one way or the other to be honest. I didnt mean to really discount what you were conjecturing, just saying that in most cases it doesnt require that much analysis. Just trying to keep it simple and I am not an expert on the subject, just some experience in discussing it on a few rare occasions.

Anyhow, sorry for getting you bombed on the other forum. I was only joking with him and I think he was drinking LOL!!

No worries. That's what this forum is for. Bouncing ideas and information off one another to discern the truth: the classic art of the dialectic.

Everytime I go to sleep, I end up waking up a few times in the middle of the night with numb body parts. Especially my chest, arms and hands. What does this mean? High blood pressure?

my hands get numb almost every night.
sometimes shoulders but mainly hands. it feels like i have fat fingers or something

I get this too and I find it's due to my t-shirt cutting into my armpit/shoulder. If I sleep naked or wear a bigger t-shirt I'm fine.

My Arms and Hands fell asleep, I had a dislocated vertebra,
my Chiropractiker and Massage Therapyst fixed that problem. I'll have a massage treadment ea week.
No problems anymore.

Yeah, as of late, I too have to sleep completely naked. It just feels like everything is compressing me. I can't even sleep with the blanket on. Well...actually, now I have to sleep with a very light blanket. The other one just feels too heavy on my legs for some reason.

Take acetomenophin before bed, just take 500 mg - it will help.

Why don't you have your wifey give you massage to get you to go to sleep? It's part of her duties as a wife, as well as the cooking, cleaning etc...

She's there to serve you because you provide for the family.
