If persist get check: It may be temporary due o way you slept and there was pressure on the nerve, but if it persists than have it checked by your doctor or a neurolgist.

Unclear: It is unclear why your thumb went numb randomly for no good reason. It can be related to a pinched nerve from your neck to pinched nerves all along your upper extremities. It can also be the signs of neurological disorders. It is best to be evaluated by a provider.
