Why do we have numbness in the legs when we sit down for a long time?

 I have experienced it. After sitting on a chair for continuous 2 hours, I found it very difficult to take a step.


When we sit, we start building a pressure on our legs. This pressure can briefly compress the nerves in that area.


As a result, there will not be fluent communication between brain and the nerves of that area. 


As we know brain sends signals to our body organs through nerves. When nerves get compressed, signals from brain will not reach the organs as they should be. 


That's why we feel difficult to move as we wish. 


But it is only for some seconds. As soon as the pressure on nerves gets eased, communication between brain and organs re establish.
