my legs fall asleep when i sleep on my side.. =(

[sparklesoul]

I have been noticing for the past week or so, that sleeping on my side makes my entire leg fall asleep. It wakes me up because it's so painful. It also feels like all kinds of blood is pooling right at my hips where most of my weight is.. does anyone know why this is happening or how to make it stop?

Haven't heard of this before sorry, but have you tried sleeping with a pillow between your legs? I know this helps me avoid cramping or irritable legs, so maybe it will work for numbness also... You don't really have a choice about sleeping on your side from now on, so I hope you can find a way to stop it from happening!
