So if you were laying on it oddly, staying in a certain spot for too long, etc.- you're just causing blood a hard time to get to that part of your body.
So just walk on it.
When you start to feel that "pins and needles" feeling- the blood is starting to return to your legs properly. It feels like a sort of tickling in your legs.

Feet don’t really sleep. They just feel tingly when an adequate blood supply to our nerves is cut off. This usually happens when you stay in one position too long—like sitting with your legs crossed. It just goes to show that it’s good to keep your body moving.
