I have a problem with my legs and arms falling asleep ...

I have a problem with my legs and arms falling asleep several times a day, especially at night. I wake up almost every morning with both my arms completely numb because they have been asleep and I didn't know it until I woke up. Can you tell me what causes this?

Thankyou for your question.

How long do they reamain numb for?
Are both affected at the same time?
