Carpal tunnel: Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the palm of the hand, becomes compressed at the wrist. There is mostly pain at night in the wrist and arm area, that wake you up. Try wearing a wrist splint at night. You get those at the pharmacy. If not better, see a neurologist.

Or Cubital Tunnel: In addition to carpal tunnel syndrome, there's a nerve that is easily pinched at the elbow when we sleep. If you're getting numbness and/or tingling to the ring finger and pinky, it's probably this instead of carpal tunnel.
