Secondly, this could be a signal of your blood sugar dropping during the night. Low blood sugars can cause nerves to misfire.
So you need to look at that too. Having a small protein snack before bedtime may help. Smaller dinners, and then a snack later can keep the blood sugars more level.

Also too much salt or MSG in your diet can do this.
I also have PN in arms hands, feet and legs. even an experiance with my face this past week. that was not fun.

i was given some hand splints by my dr. to wear at night and they do help. I was waking up and my arms and hands wouldnt work. awful.
