No, its fine. Just hot baths, saunas and spas for an extended time can increase your overall body temp which can be dangerous in first trimester. But even hard exercise doesn't do any damage (as long as you've previously been doing it before pregnancy - don't just randomly pick up a marathon when newly pregnant, lol), so it takes a lot to overheat your body! Being warm while you sleep is not in any way dangerous...
