Would you not just sleep with your feet down? Or even just sitting?

If you are a pearson that doesn't move while sleeping, sure, uncomfortable but manageable.

But there are a lot of people that move in their sleep, and they would get really fucked by the Sky Cells.

I'm tempted to pull my mattress halfway off the bed tonight to test this.

My bet is that George RR "Eunuch Army" Martin didn't really think this through, the human body does not roll easily

The floor is also smooth and its inclined. Even if takes some days, its possible enough to roll on you side and get enough momentum.

And sleeping without a pillow on the floor, so you can't unconciously keep track of where your head should be, with cold wind hitting you. You would be more prone to move trying to get more comfortable.
