From what I can see it just says he sleeps on the 'night trains' which are any trains that operate overnight.
If you restricted yourself to sleepers, there is quite a broad network across Germany, but still not comprehensive (https://assets.static-bahn.de/dam/jcr:5e469db8-ee74-46b0-a27a-a5f39051711d/20231124_SK_Nacht_Auslandsbahnen_E.pdf https://assets.static-bahn.de/dam/jcr:5e469db8-ee74-46b0-a27...)
- bradyat 3y agoFrom his blog: "I spent many nights trying to figure out the best way to sleep in first class. In the end, sleeping on an air mattress under the seats proved to be a good idea." https://leben-im-zug.de/meiner-erster-monat-mit-der-bahncard-100-first/ https://leben-im-zug.de/meiner-erster-monat-mit-der-bahncard... So I guess he really is just sleeping in the regular compartment rather than a sleeper berth.
- moooo99 3y agoYes. DB doesn’t operate any sleeper cars. All sleepers operating in Germany are by international corporations (ÖBB, etc). But they aren’t covered by a DB BahnCard 100. The trains he mentions are just regular ICEs that operate for some overnight trips. I can imagine how this can be reasonably comfortable in an older ICE1 in first class, but i wouldn’t want to sleep on ICE4 seats for extended periods of time
