Brief Answer:
Possible stroke.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

You are saying us asleep for 11 hours do you mean you can't move it, and it is numb and can't feel it?
If this is true this may be a sign of stroke.
Also taking in consideration your previous history of stroke this is the main reason.
I think you should seek medical attention soon. I'd suggest ER visit immediately for further evaluation.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
