I have heard of similar numbness caused by sitting crosslegged playing computer games!. The blood supply seems to have!.been interrupted by the way you were sleeping There is also a possibilty that the numbness is caused by somethig else!. I would be concerned and advise you to seek medical attention!. if you are from the UK you could phone NHS 24 for advice!. I don't know if you have a similar advice line in the US if not I would contact your doctor or attend ERWww@Answer-Health@Com
