Hard to say: If your symptoms are associated with numbness, it could be just too much pressure on a nerve from overnight. However, bruising would be unusual in this instance. It would be hard to say without an examination. I would suggest rest with or without a brace or splint and some nsaids. If your symptoms don't improve in a week, see a health care professional.
