Monitor/seek help: I would monitor this -- keep a diary for 1 week. You do not know how many hours you may be straining this area and you should be concerned. Obviously, try to sleep in another position to totally eliminate this problem. If it persists, see sports medicine MD or Orthopaedics MD. Good Luck.

Pressure?: May be you're compressing blood flow due to flexed arms?
