So I was watching Netflix in my room with my bath and body works candle burning on my dresser next to my tv. I accidentally fell asleep for like 1 1/2- 2 hours. My boyfriend came home and said there was some smoke in my room and blew out the candle and turned on the fan. My window was opened a little bit. I feel fine. Am I going to be okay or should I be worried?

If you can do this to yourself and your boyfriend, and future children, I suggest you don't buy any more candles. Ever.

The only reason a candle would smoke is if the wick is too long. In the future, trim the wick to 1/4" to prevent that from happening.
I doubt the candle smoke will effect your lungs.
The old saying "do not leave burning candles unattended" applies here.

NEVER fall asleep with a burning candle in the room. You need to get a "hurricane" style lamp if you burn candles--one that would allow the candle to keep burning but not let hot wax to escape. This is one of the top 3 reasons for house fires--burning candles that overflow. You should not be worried about any smoke--you should be more concerned with your safety.

Worried about what?
You left the candle burning too long and the wick got too long and smoked a little. Your BBW candle probably had three wicks. Having it burn for two hours shouldn’t of been have been issue. You get more smoke standing by a grill.
No it won’t hurt you.
Never blow the flame out. Douse the flame in the liquid wax, and then pull the wick up straight.
Blowing the candle flame out will cause it to smoke and that smoke will go up to your ceiling, plus the smell is bad, nasty after you have burning a nice scent.
Always trim your wicks before you light them. A shorter wick will cause less smoke and burn more evenly.

Yup, worrying for nothing always helps. Unless you are dead, you will be fine.
