Possibly. Sounds a whole lot like an allergy, especially the itchy bit, whats your sofa made of?
Years ago I woke up with a swollen face on one side, I never did find out what that was, but I assumed it might have been perfume.
Lasted a couple of days. Was embarrassing going to work like it! :D

Hmmm very strange! No possibility you touched your eye with the cream? I think the eyes are quite sensitive. I bet it will go down in a day or so & you will be none the wiser what caused it. Which is annoying.

It can be as simple as falling asleep in an awkward position and your eyelashes getting pushed into your skin or forced in the wrong direction which can cause inflammation artound the eye area... I had it before and still sometimes wake up with swollen eyelid if I have fallen asleep heavily on one side of my face... Im sure its nothgin tow rry aobut but if it doesnt go donw in a day or so pop to the docs to gets something to sooth it.
