No worries: Your phone will not transmit any disease to you.

Cell phone: Sleeping with your cell phone is something most teenagers do, none the worse for wear. But sleeping ON your cell phone is not good for the health of your cellphone battery. Best to leave it on the nightstand.

No: No actual evidence that cell phones cause anything except an addiction to using the phone, can't get along without it. It's not good for your phone battery to run down that far. Please discipline yourself to recharge it routinely.

No lasting harm: What you described in not likely to result in any lasting damage to your health. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
