I went to sleep on my right side with ny left arm on my left hip no pain awoke a few hours later unable to use my left arm do you know why?

Seek medical care: If you slept on the arm wrong, it might feel numb and weak but this should resolve withing minutes to tens of minutes. Persistent weakness of the arm is worrisome and you should seek medical attention for this now.
