Think of it instead as “risks beyond staying at home”. Falling and hitting your head could happen to anyone, and I’d wager it happening at work is far safer as you are more likely to be quickly found.

Years ago my uncle got a seizure while sleeping, fell out of bed, and ended hospitalized for weeks with a skull fracture. With these kind of conditions more or less anything in "unsafe" to a degree.
Exactly - and I’ve read enough stories of this sort of thing happening to people living alone, and no one notices until things start to smell - whereas even in a practically empty office worst case you’d be found (hopefully still breathing) by janitorial or security when they make their nightly sweep.
Way more likely to happen in your sleep, ime
