After a long break over Xmas, got back into training again and have been having similar effects - tingling sensation in forearms and hands, almost pins and needles. Hands go numb holding a cellphone for a long time (got to crack the Solitaire addiction) and often woken up at night by numb/dead forearms and hands.

Has gradually been getting better by itself, and I read online on some weightlifter forums that this is not uncommon in their community when stepping up or starting intensive training. So I'm going to continue training at this level, and hope it continues to go away.

Needless to say, if it persists or you are concerned, talk to a doctor about it - maybe find a specialist sports doctor, as I find GPs are generally not that clued up on this kind of thing.
