Your arm doesnt fall asleep that's just a silly way to say it, your arm needs blood to move. just like a few days ago my arm fell asleep cause i slept on it ( 7-5 hours straight) when i woke up my arm felt dead i tried moving my fingers but nothing, i tried moving my arm but i can just carry it along with me, my shoulder holding it up. it eventually "woke up" or i finally could move my fingers but not so easily then after atleast 1- 3 minutes my arm returned to normal. maybe you should try this, sleep on your arm when you wake up your arm should be asleep, if not then you move too much in your sleep, try another option, lay on your arm for atleast 10-20 minutes. if your patient. and get up your arm shouldn't be moving when you try to but yeah answering your question [ cause there isn't no blood circulation into it ] .

Because the blood supply to the nerves is cut off - usually by sitting on your leg or by some other weight being applied. It's called paresthsias.

If it happens all the time for no obvious reason, it could be caused by an underlying medical condition such as Diabetes, vascular disease or a nervous disorder (amongst others) and should be checked by a doctor.

This can be the result of pressure on nerves caused by inflammation or arthritic wear and tear or there might be a problem with the circulation of the blood. either way you should seek medical advice.

It is from not moving your leg for a while. You could be sitting on it and not giving it oxygen through the blood flow, so your leg gets a tingly feeling because it is not receiving enough oxygen.

I hope this is right!

I assume you are talking about pins and needles?

This happens because of the lack of blood flow to that particular area. Its like when you put an elastic around your wrist for too long.

Hope that helps :)
