Not sure if this helps or not....but, hand pain while sleeping can be due to carpal tunnel syndrome; there are numerous other reasons. Not every affliction we have can be blamed on CRPS (don't blame a cold on CRPS, right?) so it stands to reason that your body is allowed to have as many different problems as it wants to!
That said, for CTS wearing a wrist splint at night while you are sleeping can have positive effects, if that is the problem (sound reasons for this). Immobilzation on the other hand, can exacerbate CRPS. Maybe see a neurologist to see if CTS and treating with wrist splints is a consideration for you?
