[[China Railway]] operates an extensive network of conventional sleeper trains throughout the country, covering all [[Province (China)|provincial]] capitals and many major cities. The Chinese [[Hard sleeper|"hard" sleeping car]] in use today is very basic, consisting of 6 fixed [[bunk bed]]s per compartment, which can be converted into seats in peak season. The middle level bunk bed will be folded and top level bunk bed will still be sold as sleeper, while the lower bed will be occupied by three passengers. Chinese trains also offer [[Soft sleeper|"soft"]] or deluxe sleeping cars with four or two beds per room.

China is the only country to operate [[High-speed rail in China|high-speed]] sleeper trains. Sleeper services are operated using high-speed [[China Railway CRH1#CRH1E|CRH1E]], [[China Railway CRH2#CRH2E|CRH2E]] and [[China Railway CRH5#CRH5E|CRH5E]] trains outfitted with [[Berth (sleeping)#Berths in trains|sleeping berths]] ([[Couchette car|couchette]]). Services run between [[Beijing]] - [[Shanghai]] and [[Beijing]] - [[Guangzhou]] at speeds of up to {{Convert|250|km/h|mi/h|abbr=on}}, one of the fastest sleeper trains in the world.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Bombardier ZEFIRO Very High Speed Trains|url=https://www.railway-technology.com/projects/bombardier-zefiro/|access-date=2020-06-07|website=Railway Technology|language=en-GB}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=我国首列时速250公里纵向卧铺动车组下线-南方都市报·奥一网|url=http://epaper.oeeee.com/epaper/A/html/2017-03/29/content_17933.htm#article|access-date=2020-06-07|website=epaper.oeeee.com}}</ref> A new variant of CRH2E consists of double level bunk capsules in lieu of sleeping berths.

====India====
{{Further|Indian Railways coaching stock}}
A major portion of passenger cars in [[India]] are sleeper/couchette cars. With railways as one of the primary mode of passenger transport, sleeper cars vary from economical to First Class AC (air conditioned). Most Indian trains come in combinations of first class A/C and non-A/C private sleeper cars with doors, and A/C 3-tier or 2-tier [[couchette car|couchette]] arrangements.{{citation needed|date=March 2014}}<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.tripsavvy.com/indian-railways-trains-travel-classes-1539646|title=Essential Guide to Classes of Travel on Indian Railways Trains (with Photos)|work=TripSavvy|access-date=2017-09-07}}</ref>

{{Further|Blue Train (Japan)}}
Japan used to have many sleeper trains, but most of these routes have been removed because of the development of air travel, overnight bus services and [[high-speed rail]]. As of May 2016, sleeper car trains of regular service in Japan are as follows:<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-10-26 |title=Night Trains |url=https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2356.html |access-date=2024-11-01 |website=www.japan-guide.com |language=en}}</ref>

==== Indonesia ====
The [[Indonesian Railway Company|Indonesian State Railways]] once operated sleeper cars on the ''[[:id:Kereta api Bima|Bima]]'' between its launch in 1967 and 1995, when the last berth ("couchette") cars were decommissioned.

The successor to the Indonesian State Railways, PT Kereta Api Indonesia, relaunched the Sleeper Train service on 11 June 2018.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Exist |first=Exist In |title=Kereta First Class Hadir di RI, Harga Tiket Rp 900.000 |url=https://www.cnbcindonesia.com/news/20180413175825-4-10958/kereta-first-class-hadir-di-ri-harga-tiket-rp-900000 |access-date=2024-11-01 |website=CNBC Indonesia |language=id}}</ref>  The first route for sleeper train is from [[Gambir, Jakarta]] to [[Surabaya]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=KAI121 (@kai121_) on Instagram {{!}} Ghostarchive |url=https://ghostarchive.org/iarchive/instagram/kai121_/1798983062202599407_1798980752508259123 |access-date=2024-11-01 |website=ghostarchive.org}}</ref> The Luxury Sleeper Train is managed by another KAI subsidiary, KAI Wisata.

==== Philippines ====
The [[Philippine National Railways]] (PNR) operated a number of 7A-2000 and 14 class sleeper cars between 1999 and 2013. These units were first built for the [[Japanese National Railways]] (JNR) in 1974 as 14 series passenger cars <small>([[:ja:国鉄14系客車|ja]])</small>, and were donated to the Philippines in 1999. They were meant to serve the ''Bicol Express'' in the South Main Line.<ref name="peadon">{{cite journal |last1=Peadon |first1=Brad |date=2020 |title=PNR Passenger Rolling Stock |journal=Philippine National Railways Rolling Stock Update |volume= 3}}</ref> The 7A-2000 class were a group of 5 single-level cars that were decommissioned after being involved in the fatal 2004 Padre Burgos derailment.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna6464693 |title=10 dead in Philippines train derailment |date=2004-11-12 |publisher=[[NBC News]], through the [[Associated Press]] |access-date=2020-03-28}}</ref> On the other hand, the 14 class were a group of bilevel-style [[couchette car]]s. After all services to the [[Bicol Region]] were halted in 2013, the 14-class couchettes were stored in the [[Tutuban station (PNR)|Tutuban Yard]] in [[Manila]].<ref name="peadon"/>

==== Vietnam ====
The [[Vietnam Railways]] provides sleeper cars on [[North–South railway (Vietnam)|North-South Railway]] between [[Hanoi]] and [[Ho Chi Minh City]], and [[Hanoi–Lào Cai railway]] between Hanoi and [[Lào Cai]]; the latter has much better sleeper cars.
