sleeper berth

Train sleeping compartment

A sleeper berth is a small sleeping compartment in a long-haul truck cab, positioned behind the driver's seat.

Regulations require truck drivers to rest between driving shifts, and the sleeper berth allows them to do so without leaving the vehicle: He pulled into the rest stop and climbed into the sleeper berth for his mandatory break.
