What Causes Tingling And Numbness In Thigh?

I have tingling and numbness in my left thigh. This seems to occur frequently at nights especially when I am in bed. Whenever I raise my knee towards my chest the tingling may get less but as soon as I straighten my leg to a horizontal position the tingling and needle like sensation comes back. I am not sure what is going on.
