If your hands are falling asleep at night, that suggests inadequate blood circulation rather than carpal tunnel syndrome. Quite possibly you are not holding your arms in a good position to promote blood circulation. Do not bend the elbows; straight arms are less constricting to blood vessels.
On the other hand, some early symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome can be mistaken for things like poor circulation in the hands ( and hands falling asleep).
Tingling in the arm is usually paresthesiae, that "pins and needles" feeling one gets when falling asleep on the arm for example. Tingling also can happen in the right arm when Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is present.
I think you are wanting to know if carpal tunnel syndrome can cause aching in hands...and the answer is yes!Usually you will have numbness and tingling or a falling asleep feeling in the hands,but some also have an aching feeling.You might have other conditions causing the aching,like tendonitis etc...the inflammation of tendons can cause swelling and this can cause the aching feeling.Arthritis can also cause aching,but it is usually in the joints and worse in the morning. for more info go to http://www.carpal-tunnel-symptoms.com
Crashes due to falling asleep at the wheel are 87% fatal
Talk with your doctor. Some minor surgery is performed under a local anesthetic- you will be awake, but you won't feel anything in your hand. Some surgery is performed under a general anesthetic- you go to sleep.

There are a number of home remedies that can help with assisting people to fall asleep. Some of these remedies include magnesium and calcium supplements, wild lettuce and aromatherapy.
Probably not. It really depends on your definition of severe. Some people feel that they have severe symptoms but in reality their NCS (nerve conduction studies) are reported out as mild and a large portion of their symptoms are related to tendonitis etc..However, If you actually have NCS/EMG studies showing severe CTS and symptoms for longer than 3 months, then you will need carpal tunnel release
Erm...falling asleep?
YES.
I dislike my foot falling asleep.
People aren't concious when they're asleep.
