What to do when a leg has gone to sleep and putting pressure on it hurts?
When your leg goes to sleep, a condition called paresthesia, it's because the blood circulation has been interrupted to your leg. What I usually do is reposition my body so that circulation is restored to my leg, then try not to move the leg as circulation is restored. Movement will cause pain and tingling during recovery from paresthesia, and it is not necessary to restore circulation (beyond moving to restore circulation).
