To add, it's 8 hours of sleep opportunity. This is the time you could reasonably expect to be sleeping one minute after they enter the room until 1 minute before they leave the room. Even the most slovenly of us will need, at a minimum, 30 minutes on each side of the door for hygiene and packing/unpacking

8 hours sleep opportunity for me is 10 hours from key in hand to van time minimum. Longer if I need to eat.
And that 10 hours don't start until after I've gotten a hold of tracking/accommodation to delay pickup.
I have a bunch of medical crap I usually have to deal with, and I can't just show up in room, hang uniform and flop on bed. I have to set up machine, then shower then sleep then wake up early eno to wake up, deal with medical equipment cleaning, shave shower, iron shirt etc.

Iron shirt is a time eater that justifes "i need 10+ hours"
When I'm on reroute #3 and Im on the backup shirt that's been jammed in my roller for a month even my "no iron" Flight shirts are wrinkly.
