Neck Pain?: I agree that carpal tunnel is a common cause. If the hand numbess is associated with neck pain or movement is can be a sign of a cervical spine problem that should be evaluated soon.

Which fingers: Carpal tunnel is a very common malady that involves the "tunnel" that the nerves of the wrist going through being too small for the nerve itself. It is relieved with releasing the ligament that forms the roof of the tunnel. You may have carpal tunnel syndrome.
