What is it like to take a sleeper bus from Ho Chi Minh City to Da Nang or Da Lat?

TL;DR
Sleeper buses work for long routes but are cramped for tall travelers (180 cm+). Expect noisy stops and the driver blasting Vietnamese TV shows overnight.
What the community said
On a sleeper bus to Da Nang, a traveler 180 cm tall found the berths too short — legs stuck out into the aisle, similar to a side bunk on a Russian train. The driver made frequent stops overnight and turned on loud music and TV shows, keeping the whole bus awake. On the return trip, requesting a more comfortable bus through the guide made a difference. Worth trying once, but not ideal for tall passengers.
