== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In ''[[Appleseed]]'', Deunan sleeps on the floor instead of the bed after being taken from the wasteland into Olympus, probably because she's used to a hard surface.
* Similarly, Sousuke Sagara of ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'' makes a habit of sleeping ''under'' his bed, as a manifestation of the paranoia he carries over from his years as a [[Child Soldier]]. And, considering the extremely limited space and the decided uncomfortableness of the area in question, sleeping there tends to noticeably deter any of his many admirers from trying to cop a feel on him while he's asleep.

* Jim Profit in the short-lived television series ''[[Profit]]'' regularly sleeps naked in a cardboard box, just like the one he was raised in by his abusive father.
* ''[[Mork and Mindy]]'': Mork sleeps upside down in the closet because he's an alien and that's how they feel comfortable.
Line 41 ⟶ 40:
* The eccentric genius protagonist of ''[[Probe]]'' sleeps in a cupboard. When he was young he couldn't afford a proper sensory deprivation tank; by the time the series starts, he can afford as many as he likes, but he's gotten used to the cupboard.
* Early on in ''[[The X-Files]]'', Mulder sleeps on his couch (when he does sleep), in large part because he's using the bedroom for storage. This does change in later seasons.
== New Media ==
* Lady Slaughter in ''[[Descendant of a Demon Lord]]'' is irritated by the presence of living creatures (except Celes) and tries to sleep some distance away from them. Which is probably related to her sleeping in strange places. Celes has found Slaughter sleeping in a crevice and a crate.

* ''[[Futurama]]'': Bender, and by extension, all robots, prefer to sleep standing up in a room small enough to be a closet.
* Similar to the ''[[The Addams Family]]'' above, Misery in ''[[Ruby Gloom]]'' sleeps on a bed of spikes. Anybody else who sits on her bed will usually have a pillow to sit on, too.
* A [[Running Gag]] in the [[Christmas Special]] ''Yogi's First Christmas'' is Yogi (who, seeing as it's winter, is supposed to be hibernating) being unable to stay awake and constantly falling asleep at the most inopportune places and times.
