i dunno, it just seems that you either A) have more problems for some reason or B) its the same thing every guitarist experiences but you just complain about it more

1) Hold out your arm straight.
2) Bend the wrist as far back as you can, so your fingers are straight up in the air.
3) With the other hand, take two fingers at a time and stretch them back. Go through all your fingers.

It'll definitely help.

Occassionally, if I practice with bad form, i.e. in a chair with arms, or in my bed. (Technically this shouldn't even be CALLED practice!)

Take a break (as said before) and attention to proper form are key.
