Narrative:
The first officer and I was doing the head bobbing the last hour to hour and half flying the two leg all-nighter into ZZZ. I barely remember the flight as I was so tired. Please see all three fatigue reports on this same sequence of two leg all-nighters. One leg all-nighters are hard enough on your body to safely fly but two leg all nighters are absolutely unsafe and we should never be scheduled to fly them.our company should never schedule two leg all-night trips; especially with two man cockpits. It is an accident waiting to happen. Please address this now!
