You'll never know ahead of time, nor the "next time", after that.
Such strong opinions Richard Cranium
Agreed, every person is different, with different requirements - however the OP asked what we did regarding sleep on long rides. I've found what works for me (get at least 3-5 hours between midnight and 6 am) and it has proven remarkably consistent for 7 (so far) 1000+ brevets over the last decade or so. I expect my next few 1000+ brevets to be similar. YMMV
