Do you often experience this feeling after waking up or when you hold your smartphone for too long? This strange tingling or prickling sensation in your hands is much more common than you might think. While it’s harmless in some cases, it can also be a subtle signal from your body that’s worth listening to. Before you start worrying, why not talk it out?

Why do my hands go numb? Common causes

Who hasn’t felt   their hand go numb  , as if it no longer belonged to them? This can happen simply from sleeping in    an awkward position    or propping their arm up for too long.    Don’t worry    : in these cases, everything returns to normal within minutes.

But if it happens frequently, several times a week, for no apparent reason… it could be a sign that your body is sending you a little reminder.
