Usually ok: Waking up with dents in the skin somewhere usually means a person slept with constant pressure on a hard object. For example, sleeping with one's face on a wristwatch can leave a dent the shape of a watch on her face... temporarily. If worried about dents in the feet or lower legs, one's doctor can examine to see if there is excess fluid in the skin down there.
