could be lack of blood pressure to it, maybe try stretch it or move it around a bit more. I honestly couldn't be certain but i know you get pins and needles from the lack of blood pressure, could be similar...

Massage it to stimulate blood flow. Get the blood flowing and you'll be fine again soon.

This happens from numerous things. If you've been keeping in the same position, move it around to get some circulation going.

How long has this been happening? Is it not the first time?

Yeah.
Because certain medications can do this. Lack of certain vitamins, certain neck injuries, and I've heard it also happens to people with herpes. Or a type of it... Shingles, I think.

Or you could be having a stroke.

But the xbox thing is definitely it.

Autumn, will you be my nurse when I become a doctor?

Calum, try not leaning on your arm too long. Or that means take good breaks from playing.

I hate when that happens after I lean on one side. It kind of feels like it's weightless or not even there

Just to make this clear, its usually referred to your arm "falling asleep"
Like when your foot or hand gets really numb and you cant feel it.
