hehe, u are reporting exactly opposite complaint!but a rule or guideline will solve both our problems.For 1st case. You have to consider others. Where will they seat if u want to sleep in day time? Because sitting in middle or lower berth is highly inconvenient because u have to sit with bent back.For 2nd case u can ask middle guy to come to ur seat. Since both of you have problem, i suppose both will understand mutually. U get fan. He gets to keep window closed.2nd and 3rd are more or less 1 and same issue.

Yes and that's why like Sushubh said it has to be mutual. I have had such bad experiences when I wanted to sleep in the afternoon but could not because people wanted to sit. I (still) can't sleep unless I am lying down. Heck, I did that once lying between the two berths so that people could 'sit' and I could sleep. Those idiots of course that I was rude. Sure as hell I was, after paying the same price for the ticket, I was lying on the floor and they were sitting in my berth.
A simple guideline that:
1) If mutually acceptable then u can sleep anytime.
2) But if not then u must go to ur sleeping seat after say 11PM and till 8AM.
1) Guy with lower berth does not have OUTRIGHT RIGHT over window
2) Window can be opened at stations or when train is stationary.
3) Window can be kept open or closed if mutually acceptable
4) Otherwise if temp is below 20 deg, window must be closed or if temp is above 30 deg window must be opened.
I mean there has to be such guideline.
NOTE: Numbers I gave is random.
@agantuk. urs is possible off-case.. i am talking abt normal case. normally noone sleeps in day time.
just like u have paid for seat. they have paid too. so u cant ask them to get up from their seat.
what u cud do is go to upper berth and sleep there.

also... did you know that Indian Railways ticketing program is designed to prevent girls from getting seats around a bunch of boys/men? 
I don't think this system is working properly because few days back I was returning to Mumbai from raipur is Howrah-Mumbai mail and just opposite berth of me were one young gal and one boy.
When everyone slept at 11:00. PM, their introduction and chat started and finally they trapped each other and ended with hiring common Taxi after alighting at dadar station. (party time for both of them)

Abt smart ticket program, yes i had heard that long back. Also RAC system also tries to makes sure that female and male dont end up on same seat unless they are travelling on same ticket.
Again I had a contradictory experience regarding above point. My wife was given RAC with some one else and I with another person. Luckily person with me didn't journeyed, so I called my wife to my birth.

Its a best fit algorithm. Not a hard and fast algorithm.First come first serve principle applies.You both bought ticket. It gave you both a seat.Another guy bought ticket, system gave him seat next to you.Now only seat left is next to ur wife.Another guy books the ticket, he gets the only seat left.

Well. If she books a ticket the last moment. Then she wud get only seat that is available. In such cases algorithm does not apply. Thats obvious.
I don't think so. It's basically bcoz of station quota. That particular boggie and berth were for raipur quota only. Also gal was carrying confirmed counter ticket while guy was having e-ticket. So she must have booked ticket from counter long back. May be the guy would have gt that berth in wait list clearance.

How? All wait list passengers are allocated RAC simultaneously while chart is prepared. So, same ticket person should be given common berth under RAC. Algorithm seems to quite absurd by separating family members from each other and putting them with unknown in RAC. Also it's highly unfair to allocate RAC to a female with a male if they have a night journey.
