thanks man... i knew i'd be fine... i just was wondering why the hell it happens... its odd if you ask me... i woke up the other nite and my hand was asleep, so i couldnt feel it, and it was on my face... well, since i couldnt feel my hand i thought somebody elses hand was on my face and i woke up and screamed because it startled the hell out of me... that got my heart beating real fast... couldnt fall back asleep...

maybe its the extra water weight in the muscles causing more pressure on your circulatory system, which constricts blood vessels preventing free blood flow?!?!?

maybe the increased red blood cell count makes your blood thicker and thus more likely to get cut off to some degree from a weird position.
it happened to me all the time when i was a teen (high hormone levels then that's f'sho'). no biggie, but man is that **** annoying.

lol. the first time it happened i was in florida w/ family and i was up in this big loft in a beach house. i just woke up, thought, "WTF?!" and started thinking my arms was gone for good and was i gonna have to get it amputated or what. then i walked down the ladder which was like 20 feet, and stood there with a dead arm. finally i was like, "**** it i'm gonna swing it around with my live arm, maybe i can get the blood flow back."
that was the first time i did that- and i'm telling you it took like 2 full minutes. hella scary. nowadays if it happens to me i can restore feeling in prolly 25 seconds.

i get it all the time usually from sleeping in a weird position like on my arm. woke up one time and couldnt feel my legs that was a scary experience. i would say its definatly something to do with blood flow. when the blood rushes back into my arms i hate that pins n needles feeling it gives.

everything on me falls asleep. im at the end of sus cycle at 250mg/E3D. i cant sit on the **** toilet longer than 30 seconds before i gotta hold my legs out so they will wake back the fuc up. can your head fall asleep? i hope not, that might be ****ty. im surprised it hasnt happened to me yet. i have went from 183 to 202 in about 8 weeks though so im sure all the extra water and stuff is taking up more room in my body than it should.

shoulder wear
I only get this when I am on cycle, particularly after heavy bench or shoulder work-out. I have always attributed it to the wear on tendons/ligaments. When i had rotator cuff problems, it felt the same way.

if it keeps happening go to a doc,because i know a few people it happenned to and turned out to be carpel tunnel syndrome.
not trying scare you bro but just giving advice.
did you start having pains in your wrist b4 it started falling asleep and do you work on a computer alot or use your wrists?

Check your blood pressure, saluu hit the nail on the head. If it is high, which I suspect then try some natural supps first. I use garlic, hawthorn berry, and make sure you are taking your flax or fish oils.

I was told just to keep the arm elevated above chest until the swelling subsided. I can tell you while swollen by forearm and upper arm both were "5" inches bigger around then usual. BTW I went to ER that time and they gave me a benedril shot and gave me the advice to keep the arm elevated, that was ALL.

Yea, first time happend to me I ran into the bathroom to make sure my arm was there, started freaking out. poking it to make sure it was there, keep in mind this is in the middle of the night with a sleeping pill in me. i had to shake it forever it felt like, it definatly wasn't cool.

Your blood is not flowing right, huge bb, when they sleep they use one pillow under the arms, under the knees, that is when facing up, when they sleep on side they use two pillows under the head cause their shoulders are too wide.

Hey everybody.........
I had these same symptoms going on for a long time while on gear and long after. I was eventually diagnosed with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (pinching of nerves or ateries in the neck's thoracic muscle due to growth or swelling). My problems were admitedly due in part to early neck injuries, but the gear is what really made it bad. I have been told by many doctors that it is quite common, and thought it may be something to watch out for. It really sucks, after many tests and surgery I am basically not able to use my hands for any real extended period of time, especially in an elevated position, and that is 3 years after being off steroids , and 2 off of training (as directed by the doc). Just something to think about.
