Why do parts of our body fall asleep?

This is caused by the compression of nerves between a bone and another hard object or hindrance in blood circulation. This happens when we are in the same position for some time. When the nerve is under pressure or there is less blood circulation, nerve signals don’t reach the brain. Changing position removes the pressure and nerve signals flood the brain. Hence the tingling sensation in the body part which has fallen asleep.
