No blood circulation to arms?
So last night... I woke up and I didn't know why... Until I tried moving my arms and I could barely feel them... They were so heavy to move and just felt numb, just like if you lie on one for a while of time. Except I was lying on my back and pretty sure there was nothing that could be doing this. I panicked of course and then just flopped onto the floor for a minute or so to get the blood back into them... and they were fine. But was is causing this? I think it happened a few weeks ago too! And cause this be potentially harmful? If they go without blood for a certain timeframe? Is this even related to blood circulation? Because it is very alarming when you wake up in the middle of the night and you cant feel your arms... Thanks

No problem , your normal , It happens many times to me. You must have been lying in position where your body weight had been put on one point of your arm and thus not allowing blood flow normally.
you will feel the pain for a while and back to normal.

You had blood going to your arms, there's no doubt about that but, you must have slept in such a way that you made a compress. There is a condition, actually a syndrome called "Raynard's" syndrome, the small blood vessels close during stress and cold weather. The people with this have a bad time in colder climates due to freezing fingers and toes. Maybe you have this syndrome in a way. Check with your doctor.
