Not a doctor, but I do suffer from thoracic outlet syndrome. Numbness after sleeping or while using a phone was one of the only symptoms I got before my blood clots.
Sometimes this would be the full arm and sometimes just in the ulnar nerve (outside of palms and pinkie + ring finger).
Maybe try doing the roos stress test at home and talking to a doctor if you get symptoms. If left untreated you may end up with permanent venous and/or nervous system damage (like me).
Obviously this isn’t the only thing that can cause numbness in your arms after sleeping. I’m just spreading the word on TOS because it’s what I’m familiar with, and because I wish someone had done so for me years ago!
