As somebody who doesn't sleep well on planes anyway, I guarantee that I will be better rested with >6 hours at a hotel where I can stretch out in my undies, control my own A/C and take a nice shower/shave when I get up compared to a couple hours of fitful tossing and turning in a crew rest facility. At least the CDO stays in the same time zone.

I personally can sleep late at my house (I go to bed late as well) I know others who can sleep on planes like nobody's business. Different strokes for different folks...Bid what you want and want what you bid.
