Sleeping : Sleeping with a limb in an unusual position can sometimes place pressure on a nerve, causing mild or more severe nerve damage. Because there are 3 major nerves that supply the hand, and because it is unusual to put pressure on more than one nerve, these sorts of injuries rarely cause numbness of the entire hand. In most cases the hand is not only numb, but is also weak. The classic example of "hand numbness and weakness after sleeping on it funny" is called saturday night palsy. Numbness in a whole hand without weakness could raise the possibility of a small stroke. These sorts of problems should be checked by a doctor.
