Sim can't sleep or nap - can't use bed

Ok, this seems to be an ongoing problem that is getting really old.
One sim in my family (and only the one) can't sleep or nap at all. She goes to lay down, then all of a sudden resets to standing beside her bed, having not slept at all. I have had to revert to having the cheats on to adjust her sleep bar, which is annoying.

I have tried restarting the game, buying a completely new bed, and trying to have her sleep somewhere else, all to no avail.
I have no mods or anything like that, that might clash. I haven't DL'd or installed anything recently...exept Seasons, of course.
It's never been a problem before.The problem is only recent, appearing soon after the second last game update. I suspect that EA has simply broken their game...again.

I don't like to use the cheats for the most part (unless I'm building), but I am forced to at the moment (TestingCheatsEnabled true) so my sim won't get all tired and grumpy. Turning it off again doesn't seem to make a difference. She still can't sleep.
No other sim in my household has this issue. They can all sleep or nap fine.

Is there anything else I can try?
It's becoming a more serious problem as I'm trying to get her to use potions to boost her skill, and one of them requires a short nap for it to take effect...which I can't do.

Thanks in advance if you can give any insight into this. 🙂
