I know someone who has just recently had this happen to her she was sleeping and she woke up to bruises on her face and legs how is this possible ?

Bruises??: Your friend must have had a really rough night. Maybe she has violent dreams? Maybe the person she was in bed with beat her and that's what awakened her? Maybe she was out on the town, got drunk, got injured, came home, fell asleep, woke up and voilá. Unless she suddenly developed a bleeding disorder (unlikely) her story does not sound credible.
