That happens to me every night.  It's called "thoracic outlet syndrome."  
The nerve and blood supply to your arm and hand goes through a little 
opening in your shoulder called the thoracic outlet.  When that opening gets 
partially pinched off, your hands and arms get numb.  Mine is like that 
already, so if I sleep on it, poof - no feeling in my arms.  It is kinda 
scary.
