Aside from the obvious jokes - sleeping in a car parked on the railroad tracks, sleeping in a bed with the wrong guy's wife - the answer is yes, but it usually takes a while. Sleeping in the wrong posture can aggravate obstructive sleep apnea, resulting in heart attacks.

Forts built in the French and Indian wars had four soldiers sleeping in a cot. They would draw up their knees and rest their back on the knees of the soldier behind. This posture was thought more healthful. I certainly hope the soldiers were young, because a bunch of geezers getting up all night long would have meant nobody slept more than ten minutes at a time. It no longer is considered unhealthful to sleep flat in bed, but still, many older people find that they sleep much better in a recliner.

Lack of restful sleep can cause CNS depression, which has a fatality rate of about 35%. Sufferers are taught that we sleep in 90-minute cycles, and rest mostly occurs at the end of the cycle, so they should avoid going to sleep unless they can get in 90 minutes or more.
