I also always sat up with my ex-analyst. I tried to lie down on the couch a few times, but I found myself swivelling around to see what she was getting up to all the time, so I eventually gave up. I think my early wounding is too great. It seems that all the latest research in terms of attachment theory and neuropsychology keeps demonstrating the importance of eye contact between mother and infant, which is reproduced in the analytic relationship in people who have early wounding. Where the wounding has happened at a later developmental stage, the couch remains a valid tool, I am told.
