Tingling in the arms or hands occurs as a result of compression in the nerve roots and goes away when the area is moved. But this drowsiness is not felt when drunk. Since it cannot be noticed, the problem called Saturday night paralysis occurs.
Attention While Sleeping
Saturday night paralysis is the inability to move the hand, wrist and fingers due to the compression of one of the main nerves in the arm. It is seen in people who sleep with their arm under their body after using alcohol or drugs.
This disorder can also occur in people lying on a hard surface.
It is important to lie down softly and comfortably so that the area between the shoulder and elbow is not under external pressure on the night of drinking alcohol. The healthiest thing to do is to sleep on your back. Simple measures such as drinking coffee before going to sleep can also be considered to avoid going to bed too drunk.
Saturday night paralysis may go away on its own within a few hours, but some severe cases may require medication. Sometimes, surgical intervention may also be used.
