Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Is this similar to waking up at night when you cut off circulation to your fingers and they’re cold and you can’t move them? Or is that just me?

How do you do that to just your fingers? For me it's usually the whole arm from somewhere between the shoulder and elbow.

Sounds like a different issue. There is one that arms go numb if hands held above head for a minute. That was can be helped with the right exercise. (But see a doctor for diagnosis if it bothers you.)

Thanks for your concern! It's not super bothersome. I think I just sleep weird. I toss and turn a lot and end up in less-than-ideal positions.

Sounds like pressing on a nerve/cutting off blood flow, which isn't usually serious

It's just you. Everyone has a super power and that's your.

How do you manage to do that?

Believe it not, boner pills help. They're vascular dilators.

Booze is also a peripheral vasodilator, just sayin

Boner pills can make your fingers go numb?

A friend works in a pharmacy and there's a woman who goes there who gets Viagra for it. Might nor work so well for me

Feels a bit like that, yes.
