My hands seem to fall asleep

from what I can find in the FAQ, some people say it could be carpal tunnel syndrom or even the beginning of diabetes. I am 22, and only use my computer when I am checking email or surfing the internet- maybe a couple hours a day. Should I be concerned about this? I wake up a couple times a night with an arm or hand asleep, and then shift positions. Also, sometimes if I am sitting with my arms bent a certain way I will get that tingling in my arm or hand. I always thought it was due to the excess weight I have gained in the past year or so, but now I am kinda worried. Should I see my doctor? Thanks.
