How Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Disrupts Sleep?
People with carpal tunnel syndrome often struggle mightily to get enough sleep, and to sleep soundly throughout the night, for a number of reasons.
Carpal tunnel symptoms are often worse at night. Lying down and moving very little can lead to the accumulation of fluid in the arm and hand, which puts additional pressure on the median nerve.
Sleep position, especially how the wrist is positioned throughout sleep, can make symptoms worse and cause painful flare ups that wake people from sleep.
How Can a Wrist Brace Help at Night?
Most people bend their wrists when they sleep. That puts pressure on the median nerve.
A wrist brace can help because it keeps your wrist in a straight, neutral position. A 2012 study found that using a wrist brace at night did more to relieve carpal tunnel symptoms than using no treatment at all.
If you're experiencing pain, stiffness, tingling or other discomfort in your hands or arms, don't ignore it. Carpal tunnel is less disruptive to your life and your sleep, and easier to treat, when you start early.
