Thanks.
There will be thin sheets and a thin blue blanket. There will be plenty of pillows. I found the linens to be of a poor quality, but there were sufficient for the night for me.

I found the sound insulation to be pretty much nonexistant in the viewliner sleeper. I could her my neighbor chatting on her cell phone and coughing. If you are a light sleeper, bring ear plugs.

Curtains are fine, but if you are nervous, bring a sleep mask.
