The V berth is exactly the wrong place to be. You want to be in a place with the least motion - the saloon sole, along the centreline, right above the keel. And keep your eyes closed. You want to avoid the mixed mesages between your eyes and the motion sensors in your inner ears.
This is only for those crews who are incapacitated and who would be a danger if on deck.
BTW - if you are in rough seas, everyone should carry a Ziplock bag for puking.
