Hi, i have planned my routes for my month in europe but have a few trains that i have to reserve, could anyone tell me how to do this?
Also i have been told beds on night trains are quite expensive, is it worth it or should we just risk it and sleep in a regular seat

I personally slept well in regular seats, sleep-mask + ear-pluggs = golden combination. However, the rare occassions I did sleep in a bed on the train I loved it.

The standard way to make reservations is to buy them at a train station at the ticket desk. In some countries you can also buy them online or at ticket machines.

There are very few real nite-trains left-see that list. And many of them are also on the list to be cancelled soon.
There is-just read that note further-also a kind of ''in-between'' which is called couchette or liegewagen and often nicknamed''rolling dorm''. Cost-varies per country, about 15/20/22 eur/extra (a little more with just 4 in coupe), thus about the same as many hostel beds-but without the shower etc.
as the Brits do not have them, there is not a real English word for it.
But frankly: the last trip I had in them (hungar car, for OeBB=Austrian, from Wien to Dresden) was not very comfy at all-partly also to the big party of beer-swillers making noise all nite.
