Well, you didn't convince me there. We humans are lazy by nature. And you are spending time with him/her cuddling on your couch because your life is not in immanent danger. In other words, you are not assuming you will die tonight, but rather that you will go sleep, like any other night, and wake up next day (although one day you will be mistaken, but then it won't matter anymore).

Have there been an earthquake or your place would be ate alive by fire, you would be running away like crazy and the last thing on your mind would be to cuddle on your couch.

Further there is not much you can do to postpone the judgment. Sure you can break up with your loved one and lock yourself in a library for 10 years, grasp some wisdom, perhaps invest money or built a company, sell it ten years later for half a billion $ and invest all your money strictly into life-extension projects, but by now most likely you know the probability of achieving all this is so small, that you would rather cuddle on your couch just for a little bit longer.
