Rest facility means a bunk or seat accommodation installed in an aircraft that provides a flightcrew member with a sleep opportunity.

Suitable accommodation means a temperature-controlled facility with sound mitigation and the ability to control light that provides a flightcrew member with the ability to sleep either in a bed, bunk or in a chair that allows for flat or near flat sleeping position. Suitable accommodation only applies to ground facilities and does not apply to aircraft onboard rest facilities.


I guess boeing is confused too...

"Boeing stated it has concerns about the use of the
phrase “sleep opportunity”
in
the definition. It noted that it considers a “slee
p opportunity” to be a period of time
during which sleep or rest can feasibly occur. Boe
ing suggested that the definition be
revised to read: “Rest facility means a bunk, seat,
room, or other accommodation that
provides a flightcrew member with comfort and quiet
so as to maximize sleep and rest
within a sleep opportunity period."
