Waking up from sleep with shoulder or arm strain? Experts warn of potentially harmful sleeping position

Doctors are warning about the 'T. rex position' – sleeping with arms tucked close to the chest. This common, cozy posture can lead to nerve compression, poor circulation, and even long-term nerve damage, causing tingling, numbness, and weakness. Experts advise keeping arms relaxed at your sides or using pillows to prevent this harmful habit, promoting better arm and nerve health.
