Hello,
Your symptoms are related to a wrong position of the arm during sleep, which has lead to a pinched nerve (Saturday Night palsy). I recommend trying to move your hand as much as you can. Your situation will improve within a day or two.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
