I used to get numbness in the same two fingers. It’s usually from sleeping on your side. For me, a thicker and firmer pillow almost completely eliminated the numbness. You could try sleeping on your back, or try a new pillow.
Yes, definitely try changing to back sleeping. You might even lose the pillow and just row up a towel under your neck for support.
