I often wake up with numbness in my arm, is it due to my sleeping position?

Yes, waking up with numbness in your arm can be due to your sleeping position. This can happen when the nerves and blood vessels that supply the arm become compressed. One thing you can try is changing your sleeping position to see if that helps relieve the numbness. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
