“Once in a while I sleep on my hand and it gives me shoulder pain. Can you suggest some exercises I can do?”
I slept on my hand and I have developed a sharp pain in my shoulders. This happens once or twice a week. Can you please suggest some exercises?

Your body typically will wake you up and tell you "move out of this position please" by making your hand numb. That's not really an indicator that you need therapy. However, it may be a sign you have hypersensitivity to your nerve, which may need some neurodynamic treatments. Find a therapist that is competent in neural mobilizations (if that's the reason). You should be evaluated with a proper physical examination by a physical therapist to see what is causing your symptoms.
It is difficult to prescribe exercises without fully assessing the origin of the pain. I would suggest getting an appointment with a physical therapist to better individualize treatment.
