Brief Answer:
Maybe some pressure on neck nerves due to posture

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

Most likely this is due to abnormal posture while sleeping. Due to pressure on cervical spine and nerve roots, the pain and tingling is there.

Some analgesics with topical gels and hot fomentation can help with the symptoms. Should resolve in few days.

Hope this helps.
