I was reading in the library since I am experienceing the same thing and almost everything said to have your B-12 levels checked.

Do the vitamins you take include the B-family? B1 (thiamin), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin or niacinimide) and B6? Are you taking B12 sublingually or by shot? Do your feet tingle, or just go to sleep because you can now cross your legs or anything obvious? Have you already reported it to your surgeon and/or PCP?

I agree that you should call your doctor. For me, legs falling asleep is low potassium.
