ELI5:What exactly is that tingling feeling when your hand, foot, leg, etc. is "thawing out" after being laid on?

It's your nerves letting go of all the blocked signals before.


You can compare it with your nerve being a garden hose & nerve signals being marbles.

Once in a while the marble dispenser will send out a marble to the end of the hose check if it can make it until the end correctly. When you're sitting in a position that closes of the garden hose all the marbles will start to pile up. Then when the garden hose is unblocked all of the marbles will drop down at the same time giving you the tingling sensation, every tingle is basically an nerve signal that was bunched up.
