that's true, I have seen the bed relaxing as well as a strange floor kneeling thing that only seem to randomly occur. I've always wondered why the animations exist but are completely unused.
I've seen this happen too! Not sure if it was a glitch, but my child was getting into bed and she ended up just relaxing for a good minute and then got under the covers. The floor kneeling thing is most likely from hiding/finding a journal under the bed or maybe talking to the monster under the bed?
But I definitely would like to see the relaxing in bed option come back to the game! I never just sit on the side of the bed to watch TV. I relax on the bed, watch tv, play with my phone, read a book/magazine, etc. Cuddling and kissing on the bed needs to come back as well.
The kneeling animation was all over my game right after parenthood came out. Sims would usually kneel to have a meal. Most of the time it looked weird and out of place, but sometimes it was strangely accurate given the situation, like here:

Everyone was eating, and suddenly Akira just got up, walked over to the high chair where his granddaughter Mylo was sitting, and kneeled next to her! :o I was shocked but it was also quite touching. It really looked like he decided to keep her company since she was kind of separated from the rest of her family in her high chair.
I think the relax interaction was intended to be in game from the start, but developers ran out of time to program it for multitasking and then it was forgotten, since they had lots of other features to work on that people demanded back. That's why I'm sure they'll enable it eventually.
