Hello,
I think if this problem you are experiencis does not go away within 5 minutes then is a serious problem and you should see a doctor.
The giving away of the lag and numbnes happens if you slept in a akward postion compressing the sciatic nerve, but that will resolve within 5 minutes after you change position and walk.
If not then there are some other causes more serious such as bleeding on the brain or stroke or brain tumor etc which need a doctor evaluation.
i wish it is the first case and not the later option.
