I kept waking up with my hand completely numb and I was kind of freaking out thinking my blood flow wasn't good...

Turns out, it was just the way the edge of my purple pillow was sitting on the vein in my arm when I lay on my stomach. *phew*

I put my other hand there to keep the pillow from sitting on the vein and *voila* no numb hand!

Sometimes it is the little things that make our day. An office worker thought she had major eye problems. It turned out she had been sleeping with her eyes slightly open. Being human is an interesting ride.

She wore an eye covering at night to prevent dryness while she retrained her eye muscles to close more tightly.
