When you fall asleep and your arm or other limb goes numb, it's because the nerves and circulation were being pinched to the point where you lose feeling in the limb. Sometimes if you sleep on it with pressure in the right (or in this case, wrong) spot, it can pinch the nerve to the point that it gets slightly injured. If you were asleep for some time, the longer it's being pinched the more pressure it took, and the more likely it was injured.

The only thing you can do is just let it heal itself - it'll take some time, but eventually it should go back to normal. Unless of course you keep falling asleep on it the same way....
