The first poster covers aetiology quite well.
I just wish to add that if you want to control it, stave it off, the first line drugs are the gabapentinoids - Neurontin and Lyrica. These drugs help relieve/eliminate nerve pain.

Pins and needles are called parasthesias. They occur when the nerve is compressed or compromised in some way. They are usually reversible when the pressure on the nerve stops. There are other ways to get parasthesias such as diabetic neuropathy, CRPS (complex regional pain syndrome), certain vitamin deficiencies, tertiary syphilis, etc.

Lack of blood flow to limb. Or even pinching nerves. Both could be it. The pins and needles u feel after it "wakes up" is actually blood returning to its needed place
