    Im not a new driver, but this question did pop into my head...

    Which direction do you sleep?

    I understand TV cubbies and things are in different places on the truck...but was just curious.

    I try to sleep with my eyes closed. OK BAD joke. Usually with my head behind the drivers seat unless the truck is tilted in a way that would cause my feet to be above my head, in that case I sleep the other way (with my eyes still closed. JK, JK). All my APU, lights and heater controls are behind the driver as they are on most (all?) trucks.

    TV is mounted on passenger side, so driver side it is.

    When I'm in a truck it's still the right side and my head on drivers side.I tried the passenger side but I felt like I was at a slope.

    When I drove OTR, I would always put my head on whichever side was higher. If the ground was flat, I would stay on whatever side I was on the previous night. I've never had a tv in a truck, so that was irrelevant to me. I always read ebooks on my iPad, so I didn't particularly need the small reading lamp either. I didn't have a preference to one side over the other. Now I'm home everday and I sleep in my own bed.

    My APU control panel/sleeper climate controls are on driver's seat side, so like most replies thus far, right side facing/driver's seat side.

    I'm not familiar with that khama sutra position, but it does sound worth a try.
