Again, as an infantry officer I’m the person you want to answer this question. It all goes down to psychology and getting used to. When we spend a whole day walking with pounds of weight on you it gets so tiring so fast, and you also get used to sleeping anywhere anytime. You know that these sleeps are rare so you gotta take as much as you can.
As for waking up, there’s a reason why majority of sleep we get on the field isn’t as effective as it would be home : You’re on alert. Even while sleeping. I’m sure you’ve seen the video of that soldier trying to take another soldiers pistol while he’s sleeping and he immediately wakes up and pulls away the pistol. That’s exactly how it is. Any loud noise and everyone sleeping will reach for their rifles. Your body might be asleep but your mind is racing.
