I am 50 yrs. old and since I was a child, I have been twisting my hair around my fingers and pulling my hair in my sleep until it wakes me. Sometimes I wake up with hair wrapped so tight around my fingers, it shuts off the circulation. I have asked several doctors and they only have answers for hair-pullers that do it while awake. My hair has been short to very long ,length has nothing to do with it, it continues no matter what the length. If anyone has an answer to this very annoying night time activity, please respond!

Interesting question...it sounds like a sleep disorder....Try to find a specialist in that field.
