I sleep in the bed vs I sleep on the bed

Both phrases are correct, but they express slightly different meanings. 'I sleep in the bed' implies you're actually sleeping inside the bed, while 'I sleep on the bed' suggests you're sleeping on top of the bed. The choice between the two depends on if you want to emphasize being inside the bed or on top.
