How to sleep with carpal tunnel?
My carpal tunnel syndrome is acting up badly at night, making my hands numb and painful. I wake up constantly. What's the best way to position my wrists or hands to get some relief while sleeping?

I tried everything from warm water dips to special hand massages, but wearing a rigid wrist splint while sleeping was the only thing that actually stopped the numbness. It keeps your wrist straight so the nerve doesn't get pinched.

Beta, you can gently massage your hands with warm oil in the evening, but always wear a proper wrist support splint at night. Make sure you don't sleep with your hands tucked under your heavy pillow.

Hey, don't stress too much about it! Just grab a basic wrist brace from a chemist and wear it to bed. It stops you from curling your hands under your chin while sleeping, which is usually what causes that tingling.

Wearing a wrist splint to bed is the absolute best solution for this. It keeps the joint completely stable.

I was reading about this because my fingers keep tingling at night. Apparently, keeping your hands elevated on a pillow next to you helps reduce fluid buildup in the wrists, which reduces the nighttime pain.
