Is Unconsciously Brushing One S Arm While Sleeping Normal?

I have sleep issues so I take sleep medicine and even then it doesn t always help. I ve noticed that I sometimes will be half asleep with one arm extended and the other one rubbing or tickling the extended one. After confessing this to my sister she said she does the same thing. What causes this?

Hello,

This arms position doesn't signify any pathology or specific issues. It is not related to sleeping issues. Use melatonin supplements to improve sleep.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
