I've had times where I've slept with my arm twisted and found it to be completely numb when I wake up, I think it's due to the blood supply being restricted rather than the nerve.
Had a dream where my hand and arm were being eaten by a fish - really painful. Woke up with my arm numb and jammed down the side of the bed and wall.funny when I woke up. Scary in the dream.
Few years ago when i worked in a meat prossing plant i regualy had "slumber arms"
This was due to the work i did and sometimes they would go to sleep while i was driving
home after work, had to stop usually in the same place untill they came back to normal.
Crap job but the money was very good.

Anyways I dreamt that I was that guy, and I was pushing my rock really hard, I woke up with my head and shoulders jammed into the wall, and had a bad neck afterwards...
The ulnar nerve is quite easy to compress and limit nerve traffic.
Lack of nerve traffic will slow blood flow, lack of capilary stimulation to the skin will reduce temp to affected area, dry the skin out and reduce sweating, cause cramp, numbness & pins and needles.
Basically the main nerve runs through your elbow and quite close to the skin on the underside of your forearm to the wrist and then to your small and only the outside of your ring finger.
If you've been sleeping on your forearm it's quite possible to get the results you speak of. Although both arms at the same time, means you either have a pretty weird sleeping position or something further up the nerve route isn't quite right.

Happens at least a couple of times a month to me. Usually the right arm, but occasionally the left instead. Not managed both at once though - that would be weird
Still, might as well make use of it...

Hi there
could be the start of Carpal tunnel syndrome. I suffered from it some 11 years ago.
Try taking vitamin B6 capsules, it has been known to ease the symptoms.

what he describes is bilateral ULNA NEURITIS, not carpal tunnel syndrome.
OP:wait a while and if it becomes regular then see your GP.
as for vitamin B6..... http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17613571 torpedoes that I'm afraid
This time last year I was pregnant and lost all feeling down one side of my body. I had blinding headaches ...I can't remember what the issue was but my consultant had a major panic - ie disppeared running down the corridor to find a specialist. I wish I could remember what it was they were worried about - somnething very rare apparently.
