We do have something called a CNO line where CDOs are mixed with 7:15 pm to midnight reserve periods.
You don't sleep in the crew rooms (those are for napping and resting) or the dedicated sleep rooms which are for ready reserves. If you take a CDO, you fly on the back side of the clock and it's more like 3-5 hours in a hotel as often the plane you are supposed to fly is running behind.
When you bring the flight back to the hub in the morning you are off duty in your base which means YOU have to find somewhere to sleep that is not at the airport.
