The couch you are using is probably not plain, or it is not fit for sleeping. If you are having pain while you are supine (straight) that denote that you should first check your bed. Secondly if the the bed is good then place a foam roll or small towel in lumber region to maintain the lumber curvature. this will help you get rid of pain.

Full day sitting and in awkward postures leads to weakness and stiffness of your muscles of the back. But there is some movement happening when awake. While sleeping there is more inactivity and the stiff muscles get stretched when you move or are in awkward postures.
Next Steps
appropriate stretching exercises of spine

This pain is due to stiffness of your lower back in being straightened. Sitting for long periods without straightening is probably the reason.
This would need mobilisation and exercises which could help resolve the stiffness.
Next Steps
please do take breaks every 40 minutes or so.
Health Tips
visit a physiotherapist for further assessment and treatment.
