No, that's your leg "going asleep" (loss of blood). You get into a position that causes loss of blood to a leg or an arm, and when the discomfort level gets great enough, it alerts your brain enough to get you moving, so that blood can return.
Okay, at least I know what it is. My foot falling asleep during the day feels like nothing compared to when this happens at night. Is there anything I can do about it?
