That would explain it ! When you put your hands under the pillow with your head squeezing your hands, you are indeed redcuing blood circulation.

oru vishyaththa paththi pEsina, naalu pEru, naalu vidhaama sollanum. Here's my take:

Me got the numbness-in-left-hand problem (especially fingers) for about six months now (on and off). I did a bit of reading on the net and kinda concluded that it could be due to excessive strain on the nerves entering the palm, caused mainly due to repetitive stress from daily actions like typing, lifting heavy objects at work (say a stout female colleague), etc. Muththi pOchuna, it could lead to what is known as Carpel Tunnel Syndrome (CTS).
At one point, the pain had aggravated and reached all the way up to my shoulder - quite a terrible feeling, I must say. I then got myself a simple wrist band (think power lifting) and started using it whenever the pain shot up (only for 5 mins or so each time). It basically helps in reducing the wrist from bending frequently (which causes the nerves to constrict) thereby reducing the pain and numbing significantly.

This is a general "myth" amongst Tamilians! If one eats healthy foods, exercises regularly, keeps away from toxins (Alcohol, smoking, drugs) and lives a stress free life, there is a less need for regular checkups.
