hi
I'm Dr Rohit
don't go by google diagnosis
compartment syndrome is absolutely rare without any trauma or causative factors
what you are facing is during sleep you might be sleeping in wrong positions which causes your arteries to block the flow leading to numbness
or
you may have put pressure on nerves leading to physiological blockage of nerve conduction leading to numbness
both these conditions recover after removal of pressure
it may be said as mild form of Saturday night palsy
regarding the thigh also same Theory
