My 5 year old son is a not often sleepwalker/sleeptalker but tonightbi noticed his legs shaking while asleep. what could this be?

May be normal...: May be normal to have many types of movements when falling asleep, during sleep, and when waking up. If a child is otherwise a happy, normal kid, then parents can just make a video of the movements to show the doctor. Parents can add details such as: when it happens, how long it lasts, what foods or meds taken, etc... During some episodes on video, wake him up while showing his response on video.

Can sleeping with your leg hanging off the bed make your foot fall asleep or be numb? My 6 year old son has been waking up to a sleeping leg and numb foot sensation that resolves after a minute. He sleeps on his back and at times half off the bed?
