It has been awhile, but I seem to recall that the last time I traveled in a bedroom (in which the bed is perpendicular to the rails), I had some trouble sleeping due to the lateral motion of the car (CSX trackwork!) rocking me lengthwise (head to toe?), which I found somewhat annoying and unnatural.
On the other hand, I have found the side to side rocking in a roomette (in which the bed is parallel to the rails) is a sure cure for insomnia and a much more natural feel, like a baby being rocked in a crib.
Is it just me? Or do others have preferences for accomodations based on sleep quality and the orientation of the bed in relation to the rails (and not considering room space, in which the bedroom obviously has an advantage)?
