Default Longitudinal Vs transversal berths


I am shopping for a replacement boat.
I see that some aft cabins have the berth running from starboard to port.
This means that if the cabin is used while sailing I may have my head on the
leeward side or windward side. More so if the boat is pitching I will be
rolling. The more traditional berth is usually running from the bow to the
stern. My observations may be wrong. I would appreciate some comments on
which one is preferred for a sailboat.
