4. Sleep with a splint on the wrist at night (carpal tunnel) A wrist brace can be purchased at a medical supply store or a drug store. The purpose is to keep the wrist positioned in neutral at night. If the wrist is flexed or extended the pressure is increased on the nerve. This takes pressure off the median nerve and allows it to rest while you sleep. The wrist brace should be worn every night while you are still experiencing numbness and tingling.
