Why I Am Getting Numbness In My Left Arm When I Sleep?

Lately i've been getting numbness in my left arm when I sleep, & can shake it off in the morning when I get up.

I don't get it during the day. I'm taking Lisinopryl for blood pressure, & I like my nightcap at night, which is red

wine. Could my numbness be caused by an interaction between the two?
