huh?
Could be due to a muscle imbalance...stretch the pecs and strengthen the upper back, that is, inferior and middle trapezius, rhomboids...not just the lats, as they insert on the front of the arm and tend to internally rotate the arm. In order to exclude the lats, choose isolated exercises, like reverse flyes with the thumbs up (supination grip) for the middle traps. Strengthen your rotator cuff. If you're doing a lot of shrugs for the upper traps, make sure you maintain good flexibility.
Good luck

Hey, I noticed the same thing! Just sitting there watching TV, my arm will fall asleep if I leave it up on the back of the couch for five minutes or so. I don't think it's a nerve, because I get pins and needles. If I move my arm, the sensation goes away. Has something to do with bloodflow. Never happened before.
