Why do my fingers get numb at night?

Carpal tunnel: Carpal tunnel syndrome is one of the most common causes of numbness in the hands (palms and fingers). Usually, the thumb, index and middle fingers are involved, but frequently people report numbness in the entire hand. Wearing wrist splints at night usually helps. You may want to try those.

Carpal tunnel: Nocturnal hand numbness and tingling is a classic presentation of carpal tunnel syndrome. These symptoms can awaken the patient, or present when the individual wakes up in the morning. For mild cases, night splinting, anti-inflammatory medication, or corticosteroid injection can be effective. One should seek medical care for further evaluation.
