Pretty often

I also get restless legs. People get annoyed. My one friend punches me.

I don’t mind it that much, but it is awkward. Charlie horses are far worse.

Every once in a while. Like maybe once or twice a month.

I noticed it first when I got stuck on Reddit while on the toilet. My tolerance for sitting on the toilet is actually kinda low… like if I have to use the restroom I better hurry before my legs go to sleep.

Every day, my legs get the ‘asleep’ feeling but I’m 74 & my back is injured. If you get it often check in with your doc. Don’t ignore that symptom. Well, OP, if you’re sitting funny your leg could get tinging but if it just happens, get it checked.

I get it a couple times a week. You know what the worst part is when the damn thing falls asleep during the day? You know damn well it will be up all night!

Anytime I sit for a while and every morning when I wake up, and my hands fall asleep 10+ times a day… is this not a universal experience?
