    Hi,been here on and off for a long time. Just wondering, lately, I've been waking with number fingers (really more heavy tingles on the fingers more than the hands.) I used to wake up on occasion with "dead numb" hands. These are a little different and happen almost every night. Any one else...

    Sleep Starts and Tongue Jerks

    Don't know about what causes the scalloping, but I've had it for at least a decade, (I've been seeing an accupuncturist for that long).
