what happends if your hands sleep

I think most of us experienced about this feeling that is when you suddenly wake up from the sleep due to sound or other disturbances for a moment your hands does not listen to you, numbness, you can't move it and when you touch  you cant feel any sensation. but if you sit and rub your arm and slowly  comes back to normal .

Medically the sensation of falling a sleep is called paresthesia,

 Dont worry this is not an abnormal behavior or an dosorder it is just becuase due to decrease in blood flow to the arm or legs, the nerves supplying sensation are very very sensitive to decreased blood flow and they give out signals of numbness,tingling,pain. these sensations aslso observed when you cross your legs or sit cross legged on the floor for more time.
The treatment for this is to change your position and gradually your arm or legs will come back to normal.

Paresthesia may be classified as either transient or chronic. 

Transient paresthesia may be a symptom of hyperventilation syndrome or a panic attack. Chronic paresthesia may result from poor circulation, nerve irritation, neuropathy, or many other conditions and causes. There is no known long-term physical effect from paresthesia (although its underlying conditions may have various effects).

But  if you are frequently facing this problem you may need to consult physician early to prevent permanent nerve damaging
