Cubital tunnel is slightly different than carpal tunnel. Similar idea, but different nerve, at a different part of the body.

Carpal tunnel is compression of the median nerve at the wrist. For numbness, it typically causes paresthesia in the thumb, index finger, middle finger, and part of the ring finger (the part of the ring finger adjacent to the middle finger).

Cubital tunnel is compression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow--where your "funny bone" is. For numbness, it typically causes paresthesia in the small finger (pinky), and the half of the ring finger that borders the small finger.

For carpal tunnel, try a wrist splint like a supermarket cashier would wear. Use it just nocturnally, at first. Stretch out the wrist flexors (palm side) from time to time, especially if you're at a computer keyboard or gripping a steering wheel (or fishing rod) for prolonged periods.

For cubital tunnel, it can come from flexing your elbow for prolonged periods. Just try keeping your elbows straight (or straight-ish). If you wake up with numb ring and small fingers, try sleeping with your hands between your knees. There are splints (Google "pil-o-splint"), but invariably most of them wind up on the floor by the time people wake up in the morning. At your office/computer, try to make sure it's ergonomically set up. Take the time to straighten out your elbows every once in awhile to let the ulnar nerve "breathe".

If symptoms still persist or become more invasive, then consider a nerve test from a neurologist or physiatrist.
