Hey there I understand your concern
There can be many reasons that led to this
It might be due to excessive weight lifting or you sleeping on your arm more than certain duration
But usually when it occurs due to compression while sleeping the numbness goes away in few minutes to hour
But as you mentioned the pain and numbness is persistent in between days
It is a good for you to visit hospital for in person examination
If you want to know further you can consult with me for a more personalised evaluation. I'd be happy to guide you with a suitable treatment plan and help you manage your concerns better.

Sleeping with pressure on your arm can compress the nerves running down to your hand, causing the numbness and grip weakness you're describing. This usually settles within a couple of weeks, but since it's lasted this long and is still affecting your grip, it needs a proper check rather than just waiting it out.
Next Steps
See a general physician, who can examine your grip and sensation and refer you for a nerve conduction test if needed. Avoid sleeping on that arm and skip gym exercises that load your wrist and hand until it's reviewed.
Health Tips
Get seen sooner if the weakness spreads, gets worse, or you notice the muscles in your hand looking smaller.
