Ooh, good one!

I feel like there's a lot of room for interesting interactions based on that setup, including the always classic 'letting the other person sleep and not waking them up for their shift because of your deep abiding love/loyalty/whatever for them.'

Unless you love them so much you let them keep sleeping way too long and you yourself fall asleep with your head on their butt and when you wake up it's sort of weird and also if you were in Purgatory or something probably just begging something to eat you but outside of Purgatory it's just the uncomfortable reality of waking up and knowing you used someone else's ass as a pillow I am speaking purely hypothetically of course no way did this happen to me nope no sir
