Pressure/nerve points? - Only one leg goes to sleep . . .

My left leg goes to sleep after about 12 minutes in a boat. I've explored the
possibility of a pressure point on my left hip. I've removed all padding and it
still happens.

I have noticed, though, a sensation around my in-seam -- perhaps even near the
tail bone. Anyone familiar with this? I've started thinking about my days
riding a road bike and wondering if I've damaged a nerve or something.

Any thoughts? Advice?

I had almost that exact problem. My left leg would go numb, after a
short paddle. It was not so much a "sleepy leg" as I didn't get pins
and needles as with loss off bloodflow. Much more like a numbness,
perhaps relating to something in the nerves.

Oddly, I resolved the situation simply by adjusting my foot. I set my
footpegs to unequal length, with my left foot out further by a few
notches.

Leg works great now.
