Since the past one month, my arms sleep during night. this happens on both sides be it left or right. i have always slept this way, why now?

Positional: This sounds like a positional occurrence during sleep. When the shoulders are relaxed and sloped the nerves coming into the arms are impinged. Try changing your sleep position or doing exercises that raise the shoulders.
