#OHBoy: This can't be healthy

SOO!!! I sleep in some uber funky positions. Like for real, I've been known to sleep with one leg bent up and then the other one crossed over it and up in the air ... arms in all funky positions ... if you didn't know, I'm a very weird human being.
Compound that weirdness with the air mattress I am currently calling my baby, and you've got just all shades of awesomeness.
At some point last night, I fell asleep with my left arm like over my head in this weird position that completely cut off circulation. When I woke up, I am not even kidding you - my ENTIRE left side was numb. Like top of the shoulder down to the tips in my fingers ... couldnt feel anything. Was touching my arm, had no idea it was even my arm. Dude, it was totally the stranggerrr!! Super hot ... haha!!!
I'm a freakishly calm person. So, I'm literally watching my arm just chill there - no blood coming back ... and I literally had the thought, cool! Amputated typer! This will be rad. HAHA! Had no idea what was going on with my arm, but it literally took like 5 mins to get back to its normal tingling self. Clearly now I am just fine, but DUDES!!! I am so proud of this!!! It's like in Buddhism they teach you to not be attached to anything or have any expectations. For real, they even say something along the lines of, have no attachment to your right arm. I found out today, I could lose my left arm, and not freak out. That was pretty bitchin. And dude, your arm is SOOOOOO heavy!!!! I kinda wanna call weight watchers and put it on a diet now. k ... that is all. bye.

Yeah I would get that a lot, I had to start willing myself to sleep practically in a vitruvian position just so I wouldn't wake up in the middle of the night and spend 5 minutes trying to get the circulation going again. Guess I'm not as calm as you are :P
