Was it your pointing finger and the one next to it going towards your pinky?

Had you slept akwardly on it? I sometimes sleep on my arm which goes completely dead, and once feeling comes back my fingers stay numb and tingly for a couple of hours. If you get into an akward position while you're asleep you can end up squishing a nerve which gives you a kind of numb feeling, but it's not dangerous, especially as it's unsquished as soon as you move.

Sounds like you had been meaning on it over night and the nerve got squashed. I had this issue with two of my toes and went to the drs and he told me that there was plenty blood flowing there ( he pressed on them and they went white then pink quickly again and then he said that the nerve is at the base of the toes and when two are squashed together it makes numbness and can lst quite a while sometimes before it goes back to normal.

Suonds dead similar with your fingers specially as they are at the edge of your hand and could easily be squahed together during the night. Maybe ecven more so if you are also wearing a ring during the night on the ring finger

Hope you are feeling okay about this now
