Swedish (:

As for the numbness, if a foot goes numb, then we normally say that we "have sand in the foot" or that "the foot is asleep"

Ah, nice. Sand idiom does not ring a bell, but the "asleep" is quite common probably. In Turkish, the word for numb (uyuşmak) is actually derived from the word for sleeping (uyumak), so just wanted to share that, too.

Ive never heard the sand in foot as a Swede.

"Sand i foten" är ett ganska vanligt begrepp i min umgängeskrets
