Hi,
It can be due to nerve compression syndromes like carpal tunnel syndrome. A nerve conduction study will be helpful to rule out this. Splinting the hand while sleeping will be helpful. Avoid exposing to cold also.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
