Cubital tunnel: Not sure if you hit your "funny bone" or you could have slept on elbow wrong and irritated your ulnar nerve. If it becomes recurrent try an anti-inflammatory first and possibly wrap a bath towel around your arm at night to keep it from flexing while you sleep. If the symptoms persist or fingers stay numb see a doc.
