So by the end of the day, sleep pressure is strong, your circadian rhythm is telling you it’s time for sleep and your environment is cozy and comfortable.
Instead of having more than 16 hours of wakefulness behind you, you have just woken up and therefore have less sleep pressure.
They start with light sleep, progress to deep sleep and then end with light sleep again.
It might be easier to fall asleep on the couch, where there is less stress involved.
This will ensure all the sleep pressure you build up during the day will be directed toward a deep sleep in your bed.
