What is it when I wake up in the middle of the night and I can't feel my foot?

It doesn’t happen very often but sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and I can’t feel my foot, and I have to really shake it or attempt to walk on it to get the feeling back, when the feeling comes back it goes tingly for a bit. I don’t sleep in funny positions so what could this be? And why does it happen? Is it dangerous? Please help!

Answer #1

That happens to me as well. Usually it happens if I leave my foot out of the blanket and it’s really cold, or I had it under something cutting off circulation. That sounds like the case with you.

Answer #2

Probably the position it’s in….cutting off bloodflow
