Why is it so much easier to fall asleep on the couch unintentionally than to fall asleep in bed intentionally?
In: Biology
It’s easy to fall asleep when your body is ready to fall asleep and it’s hard to fall asleep when your body isn’t ready to fall asleep.
It’s only noticeable when there is a mismatch between what your body wants to do and what you want to do. Thus failing to fall asleep in bed is noticeable and falling asleep unintentionally on the couch is noticeable.
Intentionally falling asleep in bed is less noticeable as is Intentionally staying awake on the couch because that is what you’re supposed to be doing in each place so you don’t think about it as much.
Accidentally falling asleep in bed or accidentally staying awake on the couch is even less noticeable because you are rarely *trying* to do the opposite in either of those locations.
