    I worked for a long time doing 80 hour work weeks doing hard construction with a hammer that was less than high end. I did this for almost a decade. I now have tendonitis that while manageable irritates me when I sleep. My arms will go numb in the night now, and it’s really annoying. My wife has a shit ton of these stupid pillow animals called squishmallows, and if I sleep with one in between my arms my arms don’t go numb for some reason. So now I have to sleep with these stupid squishmallows like a five year old.

      You call them stupid and say they’re for five year olds in the same paragraph you say that they are your wife’s and she likes them enough to have several.

      I have a panda squishmallow that I use. I was going through severe anxiety and panic attacks, and during an attack I reached for it to keep my body from convulsing too hard. Since that day, It hasn’t left my bed for several years now, and despite my anxiety much more managed, I find it helps with arm/shoulder numbness too.
