This happens to me quite often, I was told by my doctor it was a pinched nerve in my neck spine area, but nothing was ever folled through on this. Is that what causes numbness and tingling in my arms and hands during sleep only?

Sounds much like a nerve issue, perhaps a touch of arthritis in the neck?
