I used to do all sorts of experimentation with work/sleep schedules as my previous venture had me setting my own hours. I found that I could get the most work done by either:

A) 22-24 hours awake, either 4 or 8 hours of sleep. Not 5,6 or 7 hours. 4 or 8.

B) 24 hours awake, 8-10 hours asleep.

This made for non-even days, and thus a rolling day/night schedule.

The important thing is never sleeping for a duration over 4 hours but under 8 hours. When under a lot of stress, that's when the REM kicks in and if you disturb that it makes for hell the next shift. So either enjoy it or avoid it. I usually avoided it.
