What Causes Numbness On The Hip While Sleeping?

I sleep on my side and my hip seems to go numb after a couple of minutes of sleeping in this position. It seems I toss & turn a lot during the night because of this. I am fine as long as I lie on my back, but I cannot get comfortable on my back. There is no actual pain associated with the hip, just this numb feeling that awakens me. I know I have arthritis in my hip but it doesn t bother me during the day.
