I usually massage them, but it hurts like the dickens while you're doing it. It does get the blood circulating, though, and that's really what puts them to sleep to begin with.



They usually fall asleep because of pressure on the nerves going to them. That happens in the back and when the muscles in your lower back press onto the nerves going to your legs. To get rid of the problem you have to free up your back muscles and here's how to do that:
Back:
(do from a sitting position)
Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder, fingers over the back and the palm in the front and firmly pull down on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm fairly straight as you do. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side.
For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.



try moving ur legs or keeping them still until they wake up. or u can try hitting them too
