I slept on a sofa for over five years because of this basically (though the reason stems from something different). I figured if I don't do a sleeping routine I can just pretend I'm not going to sleep and then eventually "take a nap" on the sofa after browsing the internet for some hours. That has worked well, even though it's against all the sleep hygiene advice stuff, but hey whatever works... I only stopped sleeping on the sofa since we moved and I could make a nest in the closet

Haha, I've done this, too! My brain only wants to sleep when it has shit to do I guess. Or something about napping on the couch is easier than falling asleep in the bed. Luckily for me, falling asleep is the problem, not staying asleep. So when I wake up from the couch and get up to go to the bed, I'm already sleepy enough for the trick to have worked.

That sounds dubious af, but if it works it works. I was a Futurama Sleeper for years so I can't judge
