Narrative:

I completed my first trip and dutied off at XA53 EST. The first day of the trip started at XA55 and the second day started 3 hours later. I reported for second trip at XA15 well rested. This trip is constructed in such a way that there is no possible way the crew can be properly rested for duty based upon realistic expectations of a pilot's sleep cycles. In my case; this was my third early am report time. I arrived at the fll hotel at approximately XA00 local time and not tired in any way. By XG00 local time I tried to force myself to sleep. It wasn't until approximately XH00 that I finally fell asleep. At XI45; I awoke after nothing more than a nap. Taking into consideration the time I would require to eat a meal; shower and prepare for the van to the airport; I calculated there was only about 2 hours of possible sleep time remaining. The thought of flying all night over the ocean on less than 4 hours sleep in a 26 hour period was not a pleasant one. Compounding that was the day that was to follow. Arriving at ZZZ exhausted; I was to go into rest. Assuming I would sleep for 8 hours after a meal; I would be waking at approximately XA00 local. I would now have to stay awake for 13 hours the next day; which was to have three long legs. This trip may work on paper; but there is absolutely no consideration for the human element of this equation.
