Where do pilots sleep during long haul flights?

Have you have wondered does the pilot sleep on a long haul flight?

or

if they do where do the pilots sleep on long haul flights?

This is where pilots sleep on long haul flights in relation to the aircraft. And because a picture is worth a thousand words check out all the other images.
(Pilots sleep in any one of these beds on Long Haul flights. Likely 50% of the journey is spent in here. )

And if you wondered how to get to these places on an Aircraft ALL the Cabin Crew know the plane inside out and use these doors and stairs EACH flight.

The door is almost hidden but it is at the back of the aircraft near the toilets. The Crew goes here when the lights are dimmed and all of us can’t see.
