 Re: Numb hands and fingers

A flexed-back wrist is not good, but everything depends on the shape of your hands and the length of your fingers. Try laying your left index finger more upward. This is easy to try but difficult to maintain, since you automatically go back to what you're used to.

If it's just pressure on the nerve when you sleep, try sleeping on your back or on your other side.

If it's carpal tunnel syndrome, it's not something you can just "play through." There's simple surgery to free the entrapped nerve.

Finally, check your blood sugar for diabetes. It produces diabetic neuropathy which affects sensation, first in the feet and then at the fingertips.
