Numbness In Head While Sleeping. Reason?

I am having numbness in head while sleeping and I do not feel refreshed on getting in the morning. Even when I take a nap for a few minutes while watching TV, I am having the same problem. The neurologist I have consulted advised me to take 1 mg of clonotril at bed time. But that has not brought me solution to my problem. My wife says that I am not signs of sleep apnea while sleeping at night. Can you please help me.

Hi, You had numbness in the head while sleeping, not fresh while waking up. Lying down also you get the same .
You are having problem while lying down, so it could be intracranial presure, may be due to hypertension. or it may be due to anxiety. I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment. You can have relief with alprazolam. Thank you.
