My Arms Are Sleeping Better Than I Am

The other night, I forgot where to put my arms when I went to bed. I know that sounds funny. My arms are attached. One on either shoulder. There are only so many possibilities. They can be at my sides, over my head, holding a pillow, etc. But I can’t remember where they’re supposed to go.

I’m very particular about sleep. I’m not good at it on my best days, so I need everything to be just right. This whole arm thing is really messing me up.

I keep shifting them around, but nothing feels right. It’s making it hard to fall asleep. But what’s worse is my arms keep getting stuck in weird positions and waking me up. You know when you wake up with no feeling in your arm. That’s happened to me three nights in a row. Very frustrating.
