grab your ankle and shake your foot until it wakes up. ]
Walk on it. When your foot [or any part of your body] falls asleep, it means that you cut circulation off to that part of the body. 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.

What happens when my foot falls asleep?
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.

Best thing to do is move around and wait for it to "wake up" again. ]
Keep hitting it against the floor. Try to walk on it around your house for a few minutes. It should wake up soon after you do this. ]
