Pinched nerve: It sounds more, based on pattern, as a compressed nerve. It can be at the cervical spine level, shoulder or even carpal tunnel which would be wrist. Starting with an exam with your doc should help and determining the cause of your symptoms. Stroke does not appear likely at this point.

Not stroke: This is positional, and is directly related to where the pressure on your hand/arm is during sleep. Experiment with different sleeping positions to see what is best
