If sleep is so important to us, why hasn’t evolution seen humans be able to sleep comfortably while sitting?!(e.g. airplane seats)

Our necks don’t seem able to support the weight of our heads which is fair enough but I’d have thought that by now we’d be a bit more able for it rather than either waking up with a cricked neck, or drooped over ourselves?!

This must be a personal thing because I can kind of sleep just fine sitting up straight. The trick is to imagine your back and neck as a spring that dampens motion traveling up it. It also helps to have something to focus on like music basically I start meditating and after about 30 minutes I’m not exactly awake but I’m not fully asleep either, but time passes by much quicker, I feel rested afterwards, and I’m able to react to the movements of the vehicle I’m on be that a plane, a bus, or a truck someone else is driving.
