I have only taken an overnight train from Budapest to Belgrade and for me...well we didn’t opt for a sleeper cabin and I barely got any sleep...nothing like travelling through the night with one eye open, especially at a border checkpoint (when you have never encountered) that process before.  Curious what travellers thoughts are.

Yes! Couchettes or sleeper cabins are the only way for me to travel overnight. Like you said, in a seat you arrive at your destination tired. Just try it out once and see if it's for you. Some people can't seem to sleep on a riding train, while I and others don't have any problems.
