Different, usually my schedule of sleeping is separated on 3-4 times per daylight on small brakes - 2-3-4 hours. I do other staff and monitor the fuel in cruise. Also recording flight recorder tapes to use them in videos/screenshots [ currently I do not make videos, so now only screenshots]. And in most cases, I land on the time for landing, but sometimes [ if I am too tired already] I use the sim rate to slow down the plane and land after I woke up.

Thx, IAHM-COL!. I am trying to be as realistic as possible. Usually, on big long-haul flights, the pilots take a break for sleep every 3-4 hours. I am trying to do the same and flying 24/7.

BTW between flight, I do detailed flight planning - first I use flightradar24.com to find a suitable flight with 777. Then going to simbrief.com and create a flight plan. After downloading the .gpx file I start the sim. I always do a full manual startup, taxiing and manual takeoff mostly, then connecting the A/p [ depending on the DEP SID I chouse]. Most cases before startup I do really detailed flight planning, that takes 5-10 minutes before starting up the plane - it is necessary to do good departure and landing, so I am careful of what I choose and how I'll handle it.
I manage the fuel on the gound, never in the air. I am trying to find a way to manage it properly, but even with fuelplanner.com, there is still a way to be not managed properly. The only thing I am looking for air is how much fuel I have and how much nm I have to pass to the destination. I perform takeoff and part of the climb than I save the tape. Usually, I save five tapes - takeoff, climb, cruise one, cruise two, descending and landing. Postpone after the flight is finished I do the screenshots and start posting here. And in my facebook, also in FlightGear memes page on facebook. That's basically how I made my flights and photo stories here.

Well, It's time for my new photo story!

Today's flight was VHHH-LSZH on 777-300ER with SWR.
It was afternoon in Hong Kong and the sky looks a bit rainy:

Well, I've met some serious crosswinds this time and I took off a bit in left:

Image
Image

First ALT was 5000 than 14000. The SID was interesting because I made some kind of rectangle around the airport:

At cruise, I was at 36000 feet. It was a pleasant experience as usual, with sightseeing views over Asia [more likely Kazakhstan and Russia, to be exact] and Europe. Sundown was amazing!

Image
Image
Image

At shot final the time was already pretty late:

Image
Image

Really good flare at landing, and welcome, people in Zurich!

Unfortunately, I had to use CPA for this flight, because the next flight is performed only by SW, but hope you like this photo story still!
Thx and cya tomorrow!

Very nice and dramatic screenshots - especially low clouds and rainfall with rainbow.
