My pinkies wake up a good 15 seconds after me.

Yes, you heard me correctly. My little fingers.
When I wake up there is no feeling in my littlest fingers.

This worries me… that unthinking I might snap one of them off by snagging them on blanket or something (as there is an utter lack of feeling in them I don’t think I’d feel any pain or even know I’d done it)
It used to be whole arm(s), but that doesn’t happen anymore.

Get checked for diabetes, assuming you have eliminated sleeping position as a cause.

Is it both pinkies?

This happens to me all the time, but only on one side, and if I sleep on my back, it doesn’t happen.

See a doctor if it happens regularly.
Currently it may be a mere nuisance or less, but it could indicate a problem with your blood circulation.
