My leg feels like it fell asleep and my foot feels numb, why?

Question:

You know when you don't move your leg for too long or when you sit on your foot, it falls asleep and then you get the ant sensation when you move it to wake it up? Well, i woke up this morning and i felt like my leg was asleep. it went away after a while but now i'm here at work, i'm walking around, sitting down, walking again and my leg has felt like its asleep for almost 3 hours now and my foot feels numb. i haven't gotten that ant sensation when i move it. it just remains numb and my leg is still asleep even when i walk. what can be causing this?

Answers:
sounds like a pinched nerve or possible that is no circulation,need to get to doctor soon to have checked out.

get off the computer and walk around a bit if continues go see doc
