Sleeping parts is most of the time not problem of blood circulation its a problem of interrupting the nerve by constant pressure. | ||

I recommend you look at how your hand is positioned when you play. Day9 had a video on how to sit / place your hands to minimize strain, including exercises you can do to stretch and warm up. | ||

If its ur keyboard hand then u just need either to keep it active in the early game that is the point of spamming btw its to keep ur hands moving. probly give some more info such as: do u lose feeling in ur hand (numbness) do u feel pain how often do u use the computer (not just games but generally) do u feel a prickling sensation do u get any shakes or tremours as it could be related to the amount of time u spend on the computer, damage to ur wrist, cold hands, stress/anxiety (the game causes u to zone out so u lose feeling in ur body to a certain extent [i know cause i get this time to time]). stimulants, alcohol or any other drug or medication. | ||

In most cases it happens because you put pressure over long time to a nerve. And when it happens more often this means that you put your hand often in this position. Serious guys, you should not tell someone randomly illnesses. | ||

In most cases it happens because you put pressure over long time to a nerve. And when it happens more often this means that you put your hand often in this position. well it only happened once then it is probly stress induced rather than a nerve as it would be reoccuring and or constant. the reason why i think that is stress induced is that i sometimes get the same thing and it usually occurs when im really stressed or anxious about something (i have an anxiety disorder btw) | ||

Might want to do some stretching before and in between games, too. | ||

I say his hand is sitting on his table in same place over long time and hes unlucky and put pressure on a nerve. He release his hand and after a while its fine again. Its mechanical... And some people have this more often at some situations because they tend to move into unconformable positions. | ||

I dont say this is the only reason and as far as i know this is not the only one and its not fully understood. But mechanical pressure is the reason in most cases. | ||

All you really have to do is change positions, maybe get a rest for your keyboard wrist so it's not in an uncomfortable position so that this doesn't occur in the future. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paresthesia | ||

EDIT: looked it up again. Can have many different reasons. But still most of the cases its mechanical and not a problem at all.

 )jk jk im actually a sports therapist with some sports clubs and have a degree in sports science. If you experience the tingling a lot and it happens when you in the 1 spot its usually a pinched nerve and what Azrael1111 wrote about Carpel Tunnel. Its a pretty bad case injury and if not treated early can lead to a very very damaging nerves that can ruin a lot of your gaming / hand movements. My suggestion to you is keep your hands warm with small exercises and hand movements: - pull your wrist as far back as you can pull it towards you then bend it down the opposite way (hold for 10secs each) - touch each finger to your thumb (pointer to thumb, then middle to thumb, etc and go backwards again) start slow then pick up speed about 5 times imo - try keep the blood flow consistent - ie - better hand positioning on your keyboard + back posture. -try leaving your hand by your side before and after your games to let the blood flow get into your hand/s. Hope these help not just to you but others also, they are not anything special but will help you im sure of it  | ||
