But if you are flying a redeye that arrives at 07:00 and you don't get home until 08:00 (and that's if you live in base) then that's far beyond just "staying up late."
That's more of what I was referring to -- missing the entire night's sleep and then trying to nap at 10:00 as if it's the same as the deep sleep your body would have gotten (we know it's not).

I wait 15 hours, put the gear down and land.
