I sleep on my side, must have a second pillow to lean forward onto. As a big camper, I can sleep pretty much anywhere without too much worry... I'm only really picky when I'm on a bed.
I've experimented with lack of sleep. During travels and adventures, I've found that skipping every other night wasn't to hard to achieve for the course of a week. The time gained by driving overnight was worth it, however after a handful of skipped nights, you'll need a goood nights rest to make up for it. I've once skipped three nights of sleep in a row once... each sunrise gives you a second kick to get you moving again... by the end of it, your brain ain't quite as sharp but as long as you maintain proper nutrition to go along side the gallons of mtn dew, you can still be ontop of your game and still drive quite well.
The first time I skipped a night of sleep was in middle school.. I fell asleep by 5pm the next day and was pretty tired... I reluctantly tried again when traveling one year.. honestly surprised the hell out of my self to see that it's possible to continue the next day as if you never missed any sleep.
