If you fell out of the bed in an awkward position or were sleep walking, yes, you could. The odds are very unlikely, however.

yes. you can most definitely sprain your ankle when you are sleeping. you can stretch in your sleep and stretch the ligaments to much. this however would not swell that much or even swell at all, but it will bruise and it will hurt very bad! i suggest staying off it for 3-4 weeks. if you have to go to work or to school instead of going to the ER and them telling you to just walk it off, or going to the doctors and them telling you the same thing, or having to wait a week for an appointment, just borrow some crutches from a friend or buy some at a drugstore. the same with a brace. get one that will keep your ankle in place while walking around and also when asleep. go to a local drugstore. some are great and at a low price. sprains also do not show up in x-rays, so the hospital and doctors appointments might just be a waist of your time as well as the doctor's time too, and also a missed day of work or school that could have been avoided. hope this helps.

In Sport what exactly is a high ankle sprain?

It's a sprain in the upper ligament of your ankle. These are usually much more painful and take longer to heal. (I had one about 2 months ago and they suck). The only good part is that with a high ankle sprain there is less of a chance of recurring problems as compared to a low ankle sprain aka. regular sprain.
