By the time you factor in departure, and service (which interferes with sleeping even if you don't partake) and arrival, there's not enough time left to sleep to arrive anything resembling restful.
For overnight flights, 3-4 hours of broken sleep in J, and 1-2 hours of tortured upright zombie pseudo-sleep in Y, if memory serves me well.....
