This popular sleep position is bad for your health, doctors urge you to quit now

Several people curl their arms tightly while sleeping, a posture nicknamed as the “T. rex position” on social media. Although it may feel comforting, doing it regularly may cause nerve damage. Doctors caution that bending arms during sleep can press on nerves, restrict circulation, and result in numbness or tingling. Symptoms are shooting pain, weak grip, or frequent dropping items. Stress, poor sleep, and anxiety can trigger this position.
