What Causes Numbness In The Little Finger After Waking Up?

When I woke this AM, tip oflittle finger on left hand was numb. I figured that I must have slept on it and cut circulation to it while asleep. I figured it would recover over time. Eight hours later, I still have some residual numbness and a sense that it is weaker than normal. I can sense touchbut could not pull weeds in garden with as much strength as little finger on other hand.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is just one finger gives symptoms of numbness and not all and it is on tip of it then it could be nonspecific just wait for some time and it will be fine soon, try to maintain good posture while sleep, cervical spine compression may be the cause hope this information helps.
