My son, 24, woke up in the middle of the night to drink water but upon waking up he felt light headedness and confusion and immediately fainted but later he gained consciousness on his own within 1 minute. does this indicate something very serious?

Loss of consciousness at any age requires evaluation by a cardiologist .

Not necessarily. He may have been dehydrated due to warm weather and had a fall in blood pressure on standing up suddenly. He and all the family members should drink enough water daily so that the urine is mostly colorless. Wish you good health!
