Meg I would say it all boils down to stress but your Fingers do normally Swell at night and in the Mornings so it will be a bit harder to get the Rings on. Do not worry Sweet once you are settled and everything is over you will find that most of these Symptoms will disappear. Hugs to you

I don't wear rings, but sometimes I'll fall asleep on my arms, and my entire arms feel this problem. As the blood flow returns, the numbness literally goes away from shoulder to fingers slowly with the numbed area decreasing but the pain increasing until I have the same numbness in my fingers. Where are your arms when you sleep?

It feels kind of funny, it hurts most once the numbness is only past the elbow, it's made more irritating by the fact that you're half asleep when you feel it. Have you ever fell asleep on your back? If so, does the same occur?

this use to happen to me all the time. but my fingers have seemed to stay at the same size lately. i think due to stress and also the heat. thats what i found. sorry cant give any advice.

i agree to what gabs said. it seems your body is telling you now, that you have to take care of him too. it might be the heat too, but like gaby said, as soon as all is back to normal, you start to sort all out. dont worry megan, it comes how it should be. the best is, you take the ring off for a few days. hugs

You know I just remembered, I used to wear a ring that was a size or 2 too big, and whenever I did sleep with it, I didn't have numbness, but it used to be too tight if I slept with it on, and I had to pull it off, rather than having it slip off.

Hi megan, how are you? Heat can cause fingers and feet to swell but also fluid retention!

It happens to me quite a lot and I think it is because my fingers swell up with the heat. If I don't take my rings off before I go to bed, I will waken during the night feeling uncomfortable. I then have to get up and run my hand under the cold water to remove the rings. The swelling usually goes down by the time I have had breakfast.

Sometimes, my fingers do swell up when I sleep. I try to fall asleep with my hands flat. If I wake up with my fingers curled, they tend to be swollen and sore. I try to tuck them flat under my pillow. I never wear my rings when I go to bed for the night.

I am not sure about it, coz i haven't experienced that yet. But i do have some problems regarding on my sleepless nights.. I do have an insomnia and its really hard for me to sleep well at night. I dunno, they said its psychological and i think yea it is. There's a tendency that its really hard for me to catch a good sleep coz there's a lot of things that lingering on my mind. For some reasons that i dont know why, there's so many things that keep on flashing on my mind and i cant help but to think about it thought i dont have to. There's also an tendency that i dont wanna take a nap before bed time coz i wanna reserve it till the best time for me to sleep comes. But then, even its bedtime now, it is still hard for me to sleep. It really su**s my life for about 6months now. I am not sure how to cure it but im doing such a lot of efforts just to over come this insomnia of mine. I wanna share with you something that im doing, for me to get a well rounded sleep at night. I am not taking pills bydway just to help me to sleep well coz i dont wanna be dependent with it. What im doing is that, i always make sure that im feeling tired before sleep time so that, it would be easy for me to sleep right away. Sounds like im desperate huh? Well yeah i think so. But that the only thing i know to help me out of my insomnia. Have a nice day ahead!
