Pins and Needles
That uncomfortable tingling and prickling sensation a person feels when they wake up after lying on their arm all night is due to nerve compression. The feeling typically fades fairly quickly once the pressure has been removed.
These occasional bouts of pins and needles are normally nothing to worry about. However, persistent pins and needles may indicate a more serious condition or injury. Medical attention should be sought immediately if the tingling is accompanied by other symptoms, such as slurred speech or vision problems.
