I was thinking the same. At least you have the opportunity to get into a rhythm. It's the flips that kill me. Early AM report + mid trip redeye + early AM report = misery for me.
One of the brutal ones from a couple years ago I remember was:
Day 1: 0700 report DTW-LAX-SLC
Day 2/3: 2200 report SLC-MCO redeye.
Day 4: 0600 report MCO-ATL-FLL-DTW.
Looks fine on paper. 24ish hour layover each time. But swinging my clock twice in 4 days was tough.
