Bfeeding lying down - tips?

I have a 6 week old baby and from about 3/4 weeks we've been cosleeping and breastfeeding lying down during the night. It's going ok on the whole, but I struggle to see how wide his latch is from that angle and think he tends to get a more shallow latch and struggle to open his mouth wide enough at night (I've also noticed this during the evenings, it's like he gets a bit tired or lazy), and my nipples have got quite sensitive/sore again. Any tips?

I end up switching which end of the bed I'm lying on during the night too (so baby always on outside, away from my husband), also fine, but any general tips for making nights as smooth very welcome!
