If you’re not already in bed when you decide to give in to sleep, you have to stand up and move around. Even if you go straight to bed (as opposed to going potty, checking door lock, etc) the act of moving will increase your blood flow. This leads to more awareness and a more wakeful state.

*that’s off the top of my head, and should not be confused with an actual educated answer.
