If you sleep with a heavy box on your lap, is it possible that you can suffer permanent damage to your legs such as loss of circulation. how long would you have to sit for this to happen if possible and what would be symptoms to look out for?

How heavy? If you do not have tingling or numbness of your limbs, you are not at risk of damage to your legs. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
