why is it easier to fall asleep in an uncomfortable position???

Has anyone else noticed that when you are traveling (bus, car, train) even with the sunlight on the face, when you are just sitting and got too tired or when you are on a couch without a pillow or blanket, or even with jeans, shoos or uncomfortable cloth you have to fight to fall asleep?

And when you are in your bed, covered, with comfortable cloth, lights off and no noise you just can’t?

One possibility: while you are in a moving vehicle or on a couch, you manage to zone out more effectively than when you are in a bed, trying to fall asleep. If you’re focused on falling asleep while you are in bed, then you’ll have trouble falling asleep. (It’s a paradox.) If you’re just not focusing on anything and sitting there, sometimes your brain can shut off, making it easier to fall asleep.

in this case it’s not the comfort level, but how much is keeping you awake.
