YES dehydration can be one of the factors inducing the pain and numbness of specific parts of your body but in your case i would like to ask you to consider your posture while sleeping and have your xray cervical spine done to look for cervical rib or cervical spondylosis if pain and numbness persists, moreover keep on taking a well balanced diet too.
