Understanding That Morning Numbness in Your Fingers

You wake up, and for a few moments, your fingers feel… strange. A bit tingly, maybe a little stiff, not quite ready to cooperate. It’s that peculiar morning numbness, and for many of us, it’s become a familiar, if slightly unwelcome, part of the day.
