Sometimes at night while i'm sleeping my hands they become numb to where i can't grip or hold anything in my hand. what could this be?

Carpal tunnel?: Carpal tunnel syndrome may worsen at night since we tend to grasp our hands while sleeping. Wearing wrist splint at night may be helpful. However one must rule out other neurologic or sleep issue and you do need to consult a doctor about this. This is also not my specialty.

What could be causing numb hands? Lately i've been waking up during the night with numb hands. This only happens while i'm sleeping. I know i'm not laying on my hands but maybe clinching them. Is this something to be concerned about. I'm 50 years old.
