Answer 1

Because your body, when performing it’s job appropriately, is mostly paralyzed.

Couple that with a general sense of spacial awareness and if you do come to close to the edge you wake up.

Answer 2

You don’t need to make a conscious effort not to fall off a bed when awake. Same goes for when asleep.
