Well, Eru *does* tell Manwe that he could have protected the Elves through the wars with Morgoth even after they awoke, and that the Valar should have had more estel. Ergo, I'd think that the tumults wouldn't necessarily have destroyed the sleepers. Also, Gilfanon's Tale in BoLT seems to indicate that Men were around sleeping for a while before they awoke.
