I'm on the 777.

All of our flights are over 12 hours.

Usually we schedule breaks like this:

If cruise time = 14 hours.

A crew do take-off and landing going, B crew do take-off and landing coming back.

Going over, B crew rests for 3 & 1/2 hours, A crew rests for 3 & 1/2 hours, B crew rests for 3 & 1/2 hours, A crew rests for 3 & 1/2 hours. Coming back it is reversed.

My bladder can't last for more than about 3 hours anyway...
