Strong and healthy sleep is the key to a full recovery of the brain and the entire body after physical and psychological daytime exertion. Therefore, do not ignore such an unpleasant symptom as numbness in the arms at night - the causes and treatment of this disease have a close relationship. Only after an accurate explanation of the factors that cause this problem, it becomes possible to completely eliminate it.
The causes of numbness of hands and hands at night
The symptomatology described does not necessarily indicate the development of a disease. Sometimes this happens due to physiological or external circumstances:

- too shy clothes for night rest;
- wrong position of the body;
- professional activity associated with the constant lifting of weights or raising hands above the level of the heart (painters, loaders, plasterers);
- high pillow;
- awkward mattress.
For these reasons, numbness in hands at night does not require treatment. It is enough to change your pajamas or a nightgown for a freer version, purchase an orthopedic mattress and pillow, and give a little time to a special relaxing gymnastics after a hard working day.

- a microstroke;
- osteochondrosis;
- carpal tunnel syndrome;
- ischemic stroke ;
- polyneuropathy;
- hypertonic disease;
- diabetes;
- circulatory disorders of a chronic nature;
- multiple sclerosis;

- myocardial diseases.
Drug medication for numbness of hands at night
There is no universal therapy regimen for the pathology in question, since it is caused by various diseases, each of which requires a complex individual approach.
To appoint the right treatment it is necessary to visit several specialists:

Of great importance are physiological techniques (massage, manual effects), as well as gymnastics.
