Hello,
It is due to nerve compression caused by sleeping in an abnormal position. Generally, it will settle by itself without any definite treatment. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
