I woke up yesterday and this morning with both of my hands totally numb. It was not possible for me to hit the snooze button on my clock radio because I had no hands. It took a good five minutes for my hands to feel normal again.
That has happened from time to time when I have awakened with my hands half-numb, but at least there was a tingling sensation. Both these mornings, my hands were totally, completely numb. No sensation whatsoever.
In the onset dream at the end of October, the stainless steel arm had no hand.
These last few days, I find myself sleeping on my stomach. I have not done that in a long, long time.
