That's good, it will reset your clock. For myself I have found its best to do the 2 hr break first, and then the 8. Drive 5, do 2 off, drive 5 more and do 8 sleeper
8 hour split correct?

yep, a lot of times i start with the 8. and end up with a expired 14. and my logs are laptop

I use a split much of the time, but I do multiple drop at varying stops, some efficient, some a craps shoot and some nightmarish. I use the 8 hour to leave early and get rest for the drops, and usually get a 2 hour somewhere waiting. I then get in another 8 somewhere and get back a few hours sooner. It's a long day running out the 14, which may not complete the drops starting from origin of the load. I can sleep better in the truck than waiting to leave out in the early wee hours.

I like taking a 2 hr nap midway through shift if I'm pushed for time on a long trip it saves me the 1/2 hr mandatory break on a 1600 mile one way run I save 1.5 hrs in 3 shifts

I use the split quite often with long haul reefer. Usually get into an area and do the 8 sleeper Head to my pu or drop and do the 2 there.

This driver's log, assuming he has the additional half hour off duty the day before, and he didn't drive more than 6 3/4 between those 2 hours and the previous 8 hour sleeper, is legal, but I wonder why anyone would take an 8 hour sleeper berth at 7:00 in the morning? -
Like to run at night maybe?
