Help? Arm in a SLing?

When you have a sling on your arm are you supposed to sleep with it on?
Answer:
Former Pre-med student %26 Vet Tech: I wouldn't. Your joints need to be able to move [ex. shoulder] or they could freeze. Also, while you are lying down, you can rest your arm without stressing your injury as much as removing your arm from the sling in other positions.

I would try to prop your head up with pillows and then lay a pillow across your stomach or chest and rest your arm on the pillow. You can just try different positions to see what feels comfortable yet still protects your arm. Good luck!
