Tingling in the hands can sometimes be a sign of a neurological condition, but it can also be caused by other issues like poor circulation or repetitive movements.

Tactile hallucinations during sleep paralysis are sensations of touch that feel real but aren't. These can happen because the brain is awake, but the body is still in a sleep state.
