Why does our Foot Fall Asleep?
Many people believe that when our foot falls asleep, basically the blood supply has been cut to our foot.
But the real answer is that it has to do more with our nerves as compared to our blood. Nerves are like cables which run through our entire body.
Their main function is to carry electrical impulses or messages between our brain and our body.
Now, when we sit on our foot, the nerves in that area are temporarily compressed.
Hence, these nerves are not able to send any message to our brain or receive any message from our brain. As a result, the connection between our brain and our foot is cut off.
Hence, it feels like our foot has fallen asleep.
