Answers:
Either of these could be the problem ( or both)
1) You are a side sleeper.- You end up sleeping on the side that falls asleep. this cuts off circulation and nerve supply causing the numbness.
2) You have poor posture and/or you use your computer a lot and/or you work out your pecs a lot.. This causes your shoulders to roll forward. This can affect you when you sleep. You need to stretch out your pec muscles ( look online for a doorway pec stretch). You also need to strengthen you middle and lower trap muscles ( look online for that too).
These are the 2 major causes for your symptoms.

I have heard that this may be a lack of potassium. Bananas are high in potassium so I would try eating some or taking a good supplement. Potassium is very good for circulation and if this doesn't help I would look into other circulation problems. It may be worth checking with a doctor because I'm not sure you arm should go totally numb.Health Question & Answer
Does this happen every night.? Here are several things you may do to try to figure it out. Try changing the style of pj top you are wearing on one night see if that helps. Then try a different sleeping position on another night. Do you sleep alone.? If not have your partner keep a close watch on how you are laying. If it continues then go to the doctor.Health Question & Answer

You may have been leaning on it. You can also get this if you body quickly comes out of deep sleep, as you body shuts down movement when your asleep to stop you acting out dreams.

You probably had your whole body on it and it got numb or it got a cramp. That happens to my calf a lot and it really hurts. Just stay still for a few minutes until it's normal again and don't hit it!Health Question & Answer
