Thank you for the reference. The explanation
here explains it well.
"A duty break is a period in which a Flightcrew member is given a sleep opportunity in a suitable
accommodation of at least 2 hours between 22:00 and 05:00.
A flightcrew member is not allowed to be assigned to more than 3 consecutive NFDPs –
unless the following conditions are met …
All of the NFDPs must contain a duty break.
The Flightcrew member may be assigned a maximum of 5 consecutive NFDPs."
