On a soft surface is not a big deal.
However on a hard surface it can lead to necrosis on muscle tissue due to hypoxia, which then needs to be surgically removed, which causes permanent lose of functions. (This is common on people who pass out on concrete and sleep on their arm, due to alcohol or drugs)
