Yes I log sleeper for x amount of time and when it is time to get up to go pee, I don't care how bad I have to go I won't leave til I have changed the sleeper status to off duty. And when I come back to go to bed, again change it back to sleeper. So simple. -
I love this thread. The difference between sleeper berth and off duty is that one is in the sleeper berth and one isn't. In other words there is off duty in the sleeper berth and off duty not in the sleeper berth. Logging accordingly isn't that complicated.

There are degrees of false logging that just don't matter as much as others, the regs don't distinguish. Like being in the sleeper and logging off duty I agree will hurt no one.
It is the guys who log sleeper and are out swiping their ATM cards or throwing the dice in the casino in front of the eye in the sky who are setting themselves up for lifetime lockdown at their local Pen.
Whenever there is a fatality crash, financial forensic investigators will go over your logs to find any falsification and thereby be able to assign blame and fault.
The inspecting officers are only trying to keep us out of jail and producing those massive tax dollars which make our country great. -

Actually I have a couple of times. I'm not saying I make a line everytime I go from line 1 to line 2. So yes, I log it wrong. I show some time on each line and don't worry about it. The only point I was making is that the technical difference between the two is obvious.
