Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Having the arm straight above the head while sleeping is not worrisome. it can cause mild nerve stretching that can cause pins and needles sensation or numbness in hand for sometime. if everything is normal then you need not worry.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
