Carpal tunnel: You might want to read about carpal tunnel syndrome. Pain and numbness in the hands when wrists are bent especially while sleeping. You can try carpal tunnel wrist braces to wear while sleeping. If you do a lot of typing, working with your hands etc very important to have set up ergonomically correct. Wearing wrist braces would be the first step to prevent the wrists from kinking while you sleep
