A member asked:
My both feet but mostly the right one falls sleep faster than normal when i cross my legs or sit on tbe floor? what could be the cause?

Nerve impingement : Meaning you are putting pressure on a superficial nerve interrupting it's normal conduction. The reason one is worse than the other is that the position you are in probably puts more direct pressure on the one more affected. As long as it comes back to normal after changing position, it's ok.
