No: Don't worry, you'll be alright. If it doesn't get better, see you primary care provider. If you cut iff blood supply to the brain, you wouldnt eake up. Sounds like a local pressure related problem that is nit dangerous. Hope this helps!

Unlikely: The numbness of your face is likely from pressure on the nerves of the face. The headache may be the result of your awkward sleeping position. If symptoms persist see your physician.
