Once when I was a teenager I woke up from a sound sleep and there was a snake lying heavily across my stomach. I freaked out and screamed and tried to haul it off and it flopped and squirmed around and I couldn't get it off me. After a few moments though, the feeling came back to my left arm, and I realized that the "snake" had been that arm, having gone totally dead from lack of circulation. (The flopping had been my muscles spasming as I tried to use them.)
