Brief Answer:
Cervical spine issues.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I think the main cause of numbness in sleep on hand is a cervical spine issue.
It may be possibly cervical spine stenosis or a bulking disc or spondyloarthrosis.
I can suggest you to do a cervical x-ray or MRI to check for possible neck issues.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
