Pinky and ring finger on both hands falling asleep at night (self.medical_advice)

Like the title says. I wake up during the night to find my pinky and ring finger on both hands asleep. I need to wiggle them a lot to wake them back up. The rest of each hand is still awake. Trying to reposition my arms helps a little, but it seem to go back to whatever positions are causing the issue during the night, so it happens a lot. Not sure why the nerves would be this sensitive all of a sudden. I don’t lean on them during the day and use ergonomic keyboard pads.

Are there pillows and/or restraints that can help with this? I like to sleep on my back.
