what happends if your hands sleep

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

preventing heart disease using vitamin D

vitamin D is mainly obtained by sunlight (our body synthises it in the presence of sunlight)
rescent studies reveals the fact that this vitamin plays an crucial role in preventing heart disease
vitamin D prevents heart disease? In fact, most people suffering from heart disease are chronically deficient in vitamin D. By correcting their vitamin D levels (through sunlight exposure or by taking vitamin D3 supplements)
Most nutritionally-aware doctors and naturopaths are now recommending anywhere from 1,000 - 4000 IUs per day of vitamin D supplementation. Of course, it is always better to avoid tablets by simply standing in sunlight for few minutes.
People should remember the total daily intake of vitamin D includes vitamin D from fortified milk and other fortified foods, cod liver oil, supplements that contain vitamin D, and sunlight. People who receive adequate sunlight exposure do not need as much vitamin D in their diet as do people who receive minimal sunlight exposure. Vitamin D increases both calcium and phosphorus absorption and has also been reported to increase absorption of aluminum. Increased blood levels of calcium (which may be a marker for vitamin D status) have been linked to heart disease


Osteoporosis is closely correlated to heart disease. Vitamin D deficiency could certainly be a factor in both, because there is a strong inverse relationship between vitamin D levels and artery calcification; the more D in the blood, the less the calcification. Artery cells have vitamin D receptors (VDR), which when stimulated by vitamin D, inhibit the incursion of calcium.

Based on the evidence from these studies, there is no reason to take vitamin D or calcium, ever. You can get all the vitamin D you need by taking a walk in the sunshine, especially in winter, since sunlight stimulates natural formation of vitamin D. However, if you want to take vitamin D there is no risk


Vitamin D - reduces heart disease risk in women. It was reported at the 42nd annual conference on Cardiovascular Disease and Epidemiology Prevention that women who take vitamin D supplements lowered their risk of death from heart disease by one-third. The finding was an unexpected dividend extracted from an osteoporosis trial to determine the incidence of bone fracture in nearly 10,000 older women. From the trial participants, 4200 women reported taking vitamin D supplements at the onset of the study; another 733 reported a prior history of supplementation.
