Does anyone else have problems with arms going numb while sleeping? This is new to me and didnt start until a few months after I have ben going to the gym and started getting results in muscle growth in my arms/shoulders. Im curious if this is caused by a change in my anatomy.
Thanks for any replies to this.

Mine always do.. have for years; I sleep on my side with my arm under my pillow and they go to sleep/numb out regularly. I'm sure this isn't the best thing in the world for growth....
Also will do so if I have my elbows on the table. But they should, because it's bad mannersJeff

Happens all the time to me. It's never fun when it happens to both arms at the same time. Also, my hands start to tingle if I do back squats for to long. It must be my huge biceps cutting of the blood flow. lol
CHEST, CHEST, CHEST........ I have a wimpy chest, but I'm gonna fix that starting right now!
Edit: I'm having a hard time with making my chest grow, so I decided to shrink my waist instead!

"welcome to the jungle..." This happened to me all the time when i lifted younger in life, went away and then came back as I added some size to me again in the last few years. Funny thing for me is that it is always worse on the arm on the top. I sleep on my side to stay in bed with my wife. Ok i may snore a bit on my back. The hard part for me is when both are asleep and my pager is going off in the middle of the night

When I was in high school having grown longer then my bed my lower legs would fall asleep at night. At that time we had a intercom system in our house that my dad would set an alarm to wake me for school every day and I was expected to get my a$$ upstairs and reset the alarm for him ASAP, that way he knew I was up. To make a long story short lets just say the first step on those mornings was a doosy!!!

My arms don't doze off but just my hands. I'm a side sleeper and it's usually the "under" arm that has the tingley hand. Rolling over usually fixes it. Lately I've taken to sleeping with two pillows to take some weight off of my shoulders. That didn't seem to have any affect, one way or the other on the hand issue. I guess old(er) age is creeping in.

I used to have this for years before i started working out. Do some overhead work and it might go away, it did for me.

Yes I did and it only took a few nights to retrain them. When you bend the arms usually more then a 90 degree, they will start to go numb. It is more of a guy thing then girl as rigorous lifting is what caused it. I would say you have no, back, spinal nerve issue with this.

Every night. Wakes me up. When I straighten my arms, it goes away. The worst, apart from it waking me up, is when it happens just before the alarm goes off, and I'm flapping at the snooze button like a deranged seal.

That used to happen to me years ago when I was training hard and had some sizable arms. I'm hoping to get that problem back soon.
I remember that I ended up propping up my arms with some extra pillows that seemed to help. I was inspired to try that by seeing some pictures of the huge Pro BBers trying to sleep before a contest and they had extra pillows nestled all around their shoulders and arms.
Ah, the price of being big.

used to happen alot to me when I was squatting heavy. I think it was the overloading of the spine, recurrent back issues and the angle that my arms were in during the squat. Once I stopped doing reps with over 500lbs of weight my back felt better, my neck pain decreased, and the tingling/ numbness went away.
