I think I get what the formula means but it's not explained on the page meaning it's vague at best. E.g. could you stop twice for two hours within a 24 hour period and have that count as your sleep?
My experience with sleep deprivation isn't as much as some here, including you, but I have been surprised how little sleep you can get by on for several days and still make safe, rational decisions. Also how you can feel awful, stop for 10mins with your eyes closed and you're wide awake again. Doesn't always need to be a big block of sleep to keep you safe.
Difficult one to police, if interesting!

I saw @CarlosBI new sleep deprivation rule. Hey Carlos, I'd love to discuss it.
While I think it's good to mandate sleep, good job. I do think the way you approach it is hard to implement as a rider and overcomplicates something simple.
All you needed to do is say 'riders must take one stop of 4h minimum per day'. But the way you've done it means I'd need to think and calculate and that makes life harder. If you want to keep rules to minimum then keep them super simple too.
Also I have zero idea what your 'formula' means from just looking at it.
*N period of 4h = |Total H/24| – 2
giving the option to take the rest whenever you want, or spend a few nights riding (2 nights).
I'd implore you to reconsider your approach and use something simpler.
