I sleep on either side. I can' sleep with my feet even slightly higher than my head. some nights I have to switch around even when it looks/feels level.
Does anyone sleep with their head on the passenger side?

LMAO...ditto! Those ones can be tough at night especially in the rain for me too...better safe than sorry I guess lol. I'm used to noticing the position of the light on the traffic signal...I highly dislike the horizontal signals you'll see in states like Wisconsin and California.Nostalgic Thanks this.

I did, I had the sleeper setup with it opposite on my trucks. I tried to sleep "normal" when I got the first truck and could not handle it, don't know why but when I got the new mattress, everything was changed and kept that way. My little RV truck is setup that way too.

Only when at an angle that I couldn't reposition out of.. or to try and get as far away from an idling engine, apu, reefer, etc that was buzzing in my ear.
Sometimes a few feet and a pillow over your head makes all the difference.Trucker61016 Thanks this. -
I have switched from drivers side to passenger side a couple of times when the lean angle was wrong don't want to wake up with a headache from head being lower. The worse part to getting up half asleep and trying to figure out why I can't climb out the back of the sleeper. Duh you ####### that's the back wall.

Walmart has this weird shaped pillow, looks like a big slice of cheese, called "the wedge". It props up your regular pillow, helping keep your head higher. I use it to help with snoring and to compensate for any unlevelling of the truck.

I could have sworn color blindness was a disqualifier. Specifically the inability to distinguish traffic signals.

Life generally isn't in grey scale. Slap a red, green and yellow paper on the counter and I can easily identify. You learn to find ways to adapt - and brightness of each color is one of them, it's just a lot harder when there is zero reference on a dark night for a lonely flashing amber light. Only test I can't "cheat" is the ones with the "hidden" numbers. Color Blindness Test | Test Color Vision with Ishihara Test for Colorblindness
