How I Finally Slept With My Hand Elevated

Ever wake up with a throbbing, swollen hand after an injury? Been there, and it’s no fun. Figured out a few tricks that actually work to keep my hand comfy and elevated all night: 💡 Sleep on your back or the opposite side of your sore hand. Way easier to keep it propped up. ✅ Stack pillows under your arm—make a little nest so your hand stays above your heart. It helps with swelling and pain, big time. 🔔 If you toss and turn, wedge pillows around your arm to keep it from slipping. Or try an arm elevation pillow (looks weird, but it works!). ⚠️ Don’t bother with stomach sleeping—it’s impossible to keep your hand up that way. Give it a shot! Your hand (and your sleep) will thank you. #SleepHacks #InjuryRecovery #SwellingRelief #Health #Wellness
