This is caused by restricted blood circulation, often caused by a blow near a major blood vessel carrying blood to that region or by lying on the area of such a blood vessel partially pinching it off.
However the phenomenon is not necessarily limited to the periphery of the body. Once I got very airsick on a flight and I had that tingly "gone to sleep" feeling everywhere on my body from the top of my head to the tips of my toes and in both arms; I also had extreme difficulty thinking. My parents when I got off the airplane said that my skin looked totally grey!
What had happened as a result of the airsickness was my body automatically limited blood flow to all parts of my body except my digestive system (even my brain had limited blood flow resulting in the extreme difficulty thinking).
