When you're sleeping in a bunk whilst the truck is moving you should first make sure the netting is secure.

Prop your pillow slightly against the cabinet - To where it's butted up against it and provides a cushion so your don't rock your skull if the driver has to slam on the brakes. I would put my head on this side.

Cross your feet at the ankles.

Put your hands in the middle of your rib cage. Upper hand near the sternum and the other hand just below.

This is what I found to be the most stable and comfortable sleeping position while a truck was moving. I thought about this in depth and figured it was the safest position that if I do happen to go flying it would be in a controlled manner and I could minimize my chances of getting injured.
