This would happen 4-5 times a month.

His landings at SVO came at 0200 or so "body clock time" after a pretty long day. There was a rest period during the TATL flight.
Still lots of NH MA folks flying out of JFK and almost all are augmented. I would just make sure I had the last rest period before making a landing.
