Re: [Paddlewise] Why your legs go to sleep.

Don't legs fall asleep as well from lack of movement, besides just the
angle of the body?  It is for this reason that I prefer large cockpits. 
If you have the ability to "raise a knee" and stretch your legs one at a
time, it really helps improve circulation and to prevent this problem.
