Free time during residency within hospital?

I know that residents work with horrible schedule during residency, working about 80 hours a week. But on average, how oodles night shifts do they hold? For some reason, I am picturing going similar to 3 days without sleep and not have time to do anything else. I don't think I would be capable of think too powerfully for the patient's well-being if I didn't get sleep for days at a time.

So...what is an example of an average diary that residents work during a week? Thanks.

Answer:
A few years ago, every third night and possibly all of every other or every third weekend be common. Now, contained by theory, residents are supposed to be fixed to an average of 80 hours a week, though of course it'll be more some weeks. You do become more of a menace after a couple of sleepless night, but depending on the residency, with luck, you can receive in catnap. It's still peculiar, though, that the government regulates the hours of OTR truck drivers, but residents don't hold the restriction.
