8 here for me is 8pm. So I'll sleep 8pm until somewhere between 10 and 11.30pm depending on how rough the day was, and then get up and stay up anywhere until around 1.30am to 3.30am and go to bed and sleep until 6am.
I don't think I could deal with sleeping in the afternoon - it has to be when it's reasonably dark out, and it definitively helps to have a rough enough schedule and short enough total amount of sleep to be properly tired by the time I go down for the first round.
I rarely sleep more than 6 hour total during the evening/night, but will often catch up with a nap during the day on weekends.
