I believe that it has to do with low blood pressure...It may be that circulation is bad in your legs...I know years ago they started me on a baby aspirin daily and you may want to consider this...However, definitely call your doctor to approve this before you start it...Many people have a problem with hands or legs falling asleep...Not to worry as it isn't serious....

Take care,
Caaroline
