Dead Arm Syndrome

Posted by DesertFox on March 30, 2007, 11:21 a.m.

So I woke up in the middle of the night, and hooray I woke up with Dead Arm Syndrome - y'know, when you sleep on your arm and it goes dead and you can't move or feel it?

So its about 3 in the morning, I wake up, 'reach up' to brush my hair out of my eyes, and realize my arm didn't move. I then realize that I can't even feel my arm, and look over and I don't even see my arm as I was still lying on it. My first, immediate thought was 'Oh my god, someone's stolen my arm'. Then I woke up more and realized I'd just fallen asleep on it.

So I pick up my arm, and it feels really weird, like someone else's arm. I let go and it flops down really funny, so I pick it up and bite one of my fingers - no feeling at all. So I sit there for five minutes holding this arm to my chest when it finally regains feeling.

That's not the first time that's happened, but it was so weird. Such a creepy feeling, especially since I was really sleepy at the time, and I had less than nominal mental faculties functioning.

Anyways, I went to the movie at Ingle Auditorium yesterday, it was Borat. It was awesome - I went with my friend Ian, and another friend, Pilar (she's Peruvian). Good movie, with some really creepy parts - specifically the nude hotel fight. Bleurgh!

I don't think I really have anything else to say, except…

One time I woke up with a really stiff neck at 5 am and I moved it; It hurt so bad I was laying on the ground in pain rolling around.

Heh your arm reminds me of that episode of The Marx Brothers, I think It was A Day at the Races And Harpo's or Chico's hand went limp.

It feels so wierd, huh? It's even wierder when the arm you knew doesn't feel anything…like a bite to the finger.

All I can remember of Borat is:

"NOT!"

"High five!"

…and that nude hotel fight [:P] And I think it's 'Bleurgh!' too… I think everyone won't like that scene [:P]

The nude fight was censored in the movie I saw, yay me, I like when the fat guy puts his ass over Borat's mouth!!

>_> By falling asleep on your arm, you put pressure on the nerves, veins, and arteries in your arm. This reduces bloodflow, which makes the nerves less effective in communication. It also pinches the nerves, making it hard for them to communicate. The problem lies in the pinched nerve pathways and circulatory system in your arm, not in your brain,

Yeah, I sometimes get that with the same symptoms as you got but also a strong feeling of 'pins and needles'. Feels really weird.

Borat is so funny. "What is the best gun to defend me from a Jew?"
