Can the Raven Queen's Blessing eldritch invocation for warlocks (from Unearthed Arcana: Warlock & Wizard) heal a dying or stabilized ally at 0 HP, thereby waking them up early?
As unreliable as this would be in a combat situation, I'm curious if this works by RAW.
When you score a critical hit with your eldritch blast cantrip, pick yourself or an ally you can see within 30 feet of you. The chosen creature can immediately expend a Hit Die to regain hit points equal to the roll + the creature’s Constitution modifier (minimum of 1 hit point).
Questions have been asked about spending hit dice at 0 HP, but these are about using them in the context of short rests.

"As unreliable as this would be": Funnily enough, this would be very reliable; stand next to your unconscious ally and eldritch blast them. You'll have advantage on the attack, and if it hits it is an automatic critical strike which then lets you use the Raven Queen's Blessing to wake them back up. Just make sure they don't already have a failed death save first. :-P

You can heal an unconscious ally with Raven Queen's Blessing
The blessing has no requirement for the creature to be conscious. Similar abilities that do have restrictions state something like:
"... that isn't incapacitated..." (Sneak Attack)
or
"... who can hear you." (Bardic Inspiration)
Using Raven Queen's Blessing will restore at least one hit point, causing the target to wake up.
