When I was younger I asked my mother what would happen if you didn't wake up a body part that had fallen asleep. She told me that it would dissappear! You never saw someone so intent on waking a body part like I was, all the while terrified I wasn't doing it quick enough and soon my arm/leg/hand, etc... would be gone!
