Paresthesia is a medical condition, actually more a symptom of one, referring to tingling, numbness, pinching/etc.

Sit on your foot for a while until it goes to sleep, and then stand back up. You'll get it.

Why do your hands fall asleep all the time?

Usually this happens when blood supply is interrupted for a short time, and is reversible (a condition called paresthesis). It happens when your position causes an artery to kink, like a garden hose, which blocks blood flow to the affected appendage. Moving the appendage to another position usually restores blood flow, and they "wake up". Sometimes this condition can be caused by nerve damage. Trauma, uncontrolled diabetes, among other issues can damage the nerves that allow you to sense your arm (or hand). This is usually more difficult to remedy. It can take time for nerves to heal after trauma, and often times diabetic neuropathy is irreversible. This is one of the many reasons it is so important to control your blood sugar level if you have diabetes.
