@iceblue my doctor thought it was an issue with the ulnar nerve causing the tingling and pins and needles when sleeping on the side. I generally sleep the same position on either side and both sides after awhile will cause this tingling issue. The hand for the side I'm sleeping on is under the edge of the pillow as flat as I can make it. The other hand I try to keep it flat wherever it wants to go (changes when I fall asleep ☺). Here's more information on the ulnar nerve.
