Noctural pain/numbness/tingling with hand cramps sounds very much like carpal tunnel syndrome. But it could also be a irritated nerve in the neck. Before you rush off to the doctor, you could try some simple home remedies. First, you can try sleeping with a stiff wrist splint on your right wrist. This split keeps the wrist/hand from curling a squeezing the nerve too much. Another tip to keep the nerves from being kinked at night is to use a thick (preferably TempurPedic/foam neck pillow), this pillow can help support the weight of head/neck/shoulder region and keep the nerve happy while you sleep. Otherwise, off to the doctor for an exam and tests to find out what is pissing off your nerves.
