My Hands Didn't Wake Up This Morning
I woke up this morning. But my hands didn't. I found myself lying on my right side, and I realized that in this position I must have been pinching the nerves in my arms.
But why would
both of my hands be asleep? Was my left hand asleep out of sympathy for my right hand? That couldn't be possible.
One possibility is that I could have been sleeping on my left side until my left hand fell asleep, and then I could have rolled over to my right side, making my right hand fall asleep.
Another possibility is that I could have been lying on top of my hands while asleep. I often go to bed lying on top of my hands to ease the pain. Sometimes I find myself lying on top of them in the early morning, even on days when I know I didn't go to bed that way.
