ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Aerodynamically configured sleeper apparatus comprises a sleeper base compartment adapted to be removably mounted behind the truck cab of a tractor-trailer, and an aerodynamically contoured sleeper top mounted on the sleeper base compartment. The top has a front portion which extends forwardly to overhang a portion of the cab roof, and has a height at a rear wall thereof such that the overall height of the sleeper base compartment and the top matches the height of the trailer. Transition panels, configured to match the belt line of the cab, extend forwardly to the truck cab from the front wall of the sleeper compartment to afford a smooth air flow and to give the sleeper apparatus a built-in appearance. Adjustable side fairings, connected to a rear wall of the sleeper apparatus enable its width to be varied to match trailers having different widths. An adjustable top trim tab on the sleeper top enables the height of the sleeper apparatus to be adjusted to accomodate trailers of different heights. The interior of the sleeper top is open to the interior of the sleeper base compartment to afford greater head room, and the rear wall of the top has a reverse cutout for conveying air flow upwardly over the sleeper top.
