What do you do with your arms when you're asleep?

    Recently I've found my arms to be a hindrance when I'm trying to go asleep- I just don't know what to do with them. It feels weird to have them by my sides and when I put them under my pillow I get pins and needles.

    I've had loads of terrible nights sleeps recently as my arms are just annoying me! Short of removing them, what should I do with them?

    What do you do with your arms when you're going asleep?

    I sleep on my side/tummy so one goes under the pillow and the other grabs the duvet and goes under me like i'm hugging myself if that makes sense?

    Kinda like this.

    One under my head and the other by my side.

    I sleep on my front mostly.

    Sometimes I will sleep on my front with both arms by my side - no pillow though, head on the mattress.

    Yor Ma moves them for me whenever she senses that they are going to sleep. She's the best.

    One under the pillow and the other....I dunno, it free-roams, I suppose. It kinda rests near my head, I think.

    I wrap them around my wife when possible and hold her tight so I can feel the beat of her heart next to mine!

    ...Well, you did ask! :D

    I kind of sleep kind of on my stomach and kind of on my side, the arm I'm lying on will be behind my back with my other arm in front of me.

    Romantic... but once I'm in sleepy mode, I can't sleep anywhere near my partner. He's at one edge of the bed, and I'm at the other. The heartbeat thing freaks me out!

    I sleep on them, its becoming problematic, for a while I was getting pains in my arms and I didn't cop on as to what was causing it, a new pillow and sleeping on them was the answer.

    Its a very difficult habit to break.

    either one by my side & one under my pillow, or holding my teddy bear, or straight out in front like this http://images.mooseyscountrygarden.com/garden-gallery/gardening-articles/dog-asleep.jpg
