Believe it or not but sitting in a single position does actually tire you out. On a bed you can roll around and move while you sleep so you’re not exactly in one position all the time, but in a chair you’re more constrained. Additionally there’s a lot of things that could wake you up mid flight or just give a lot of sensory input in general (people going to the bathroom, babies, turbulence, etc.).
