-- to sleep in bed
-- to sleep on the couch
-- to sleep on the sofa
-- to sleep on the work desk (quite risky!)
Why ?
I guess because the bed is equipped with sheets or other device that
you actually enter in.

Agreed. I'm in bed usually means you're sleeping.You could say you're on *the* bed (dancing, jumping, fighting with a grizzly bear, etc.), but "in bed" is definitely the more common phrase.

Nice answers. I agree 'in the bed' is sleeping, but I have done many things on a bed. As a child I would jump up and down on the bed trying to touch the ceiling. Drove my mother nuts.
