Waking up with hands feeling asleep is usually associated with nerve compression, often due to sleeping in an awkward position. Common causes include carpal tunnel syndrome, particularly in individuals with repetitive wrist movements, which mainly affects the thumb, index, and middle fingers. Consulting a doctor is advisable if symptoms are frequent or associated with pain, weakness, or other concerning signs like neck pain and fatigue. Taking this series of symptoms into account can help identify underlying health issues.
"The most common cause is compression of a nerve, usually the median nerve or the ulnar nerve. Many of us sleep with our wrists or elbows bent, which can trigger these symptoms."
"It's a good idea to see your doctor if the numbness happens frequently or nightly, you notice it in specific fingers consistently, there's pain, weakness, or clumsiness in your hand or arm during the day."
