The first two things you have to look at are diabetic neuropathy and carpal tunnel syndrome. Diabetic neuropathy is more of a burning pins and needle feeling and can effect the feet as well and of course you would have to have Diabetes. Carpal tunnel syndrome classically will give you numbness and tingling of the first 2 or 3 fingers at night and upon waking. You may have a history of diabetes, hypothyroidism or repetitive use of hands. It effects women 2:1 usually in the 35-55 year old range and unlike diabetic neuropathy it won't effect your feet and it may be in one hand.

What causes Hands going to sleep during sleep?
When you lie on your arm, you cut off the blood supply to it due to the weight of your body compressing the arteries that serve your hand. When you do this when you are awake, you feel pins and needles. Due to the lowered state of conciousness that you experience in sleep, you are not aware of this sensation as strongly, leading to a decrease in oxygen being delivered to the hands to the point where nerves and neurones in the hand stop firing correctly, leading to the loss of proprioception and sensory input to the brain from your hand, causing you to wake.
