When your foot falls asleep, it's not blood but nerves. Nerves carry feeling from your body to your brain. And when you stay in one position too long, sometimes you squash your nerves and lose feeling. After you move around, and the nerves are no longer compressed, the feeling in that part of your body comes back. So don't worry when this happens. Everyone has something fall asleep once in a while.
