Cindy,
I don't think it is that unusual. Like Gary said, you are being considerate in not wanting to disturb Harry. And you also need a good night's sleep so you can be strong enough to continue to care for your family.
And now I will probably sound like a jerk, but this may also be a way for you to distance yourself a little in preparation for the possibility that Harry doesn't beat this. I am not suggesting that Harry won't survive, but I know it has been on your mind a lot and subconsciously perhaps you feel a need to distance yourself a little bit physically, just in case.
With all you have to deal with, if sleeping on the couch works, do it and don't feel bad about it. You have to do what works for you so you can get through this.
