Hello,
Very likely the numbness on your hands when you sleep is related to a nerve being pinched while it comes out of the spine at the neck area.
You may need to do an x-ray of the neck and also some physiotherapy might be helpful to help with the symptoms as it may help release the affected nerve.
I hope this answers your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
