It's possible that a person can fall asleep somewhere other than their bed, but falling asleep on a couch can have a psychological connection, whether it's in the middle of a nap or simply to get a restful night's sleep. What did the experts say about this particular issue?

While this is a very common situation for many individuals, the fact that it occurs in another sector may be related to the way they live their daily routine and also the way they relate to and express themselves with their environment.

Regarding this situation, Ok Diario and its section specializing in mental health issues stated: “The sofa takes on a key position in the home as a space for relaxation, but it's also an element that encourages social activity. The bed represents intimacy, planned rest, and the transition to sleep as part of a more structured routine. Therefore, those who fall asleep on the couch may be people who plan less, postpone decisions, or are experiencing a certain level of stress that they are unable to channel properly,” they pointed out.
