Lets try it this way:
(e) No certificate holder may schedule and no flightcrew member may accept an assignment for any reserve or flight duty period unless the flightcrew member is given a rest period of at least 10 consecutive hours immediately before beginning the reserve or flight duty period measured from the time the flightcrew member is released from duty. The 10 hour rest period must provide the flightcrew member with a minimum of 8 uninterrupted hours of sleep opportunity.
If I'm off two days between trips that gives me 48 hours off. That falls well within the "at least 10 consecutive hours". The 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep opportunity can occur at any time during those 48 hours and still fall within the legal frame work.
