A member asked:
For what reason do my legs fall asleep on bus rides?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Poor circulation: May have poor circulation, nerve damage, or neuropathy. If the bus rides are long, get up and move around as much as possible. Also do feet and leg exercises in place, to keep the blood moving.
