    The formal way to sit on the tatami mats is seiza (sitting on the floor with one’s knees bent and with one’s toes directly beneath one’s body), but this posture tends to make your legs go numb. The reason that・why seiza causes numbness is that it compresses the area below the knee, leading to paralysis of the motor and sensory nerves in the legs. When the motor nerves are paralyzed, it becomes temporarily difficult to move the legs, and when the sensory nerves are paralyzed, the sense of feeling in the legs is temporarily lost. When sensation then returns, it often manifests as a tingling or painful sensation due to the previous numbness. Jreibun
