Musicman is on the right path.  You could probably safely loan them a quarter.

Unless I'm mistaken, you cannot get a restart by logging line 2. I used to do this, but stopped becasue I had received guidence that CA would put a serious hurting on me for it. The regs state (section 395.2, of course):
395.2 (c)(1) Any period of 7 consecutive days may end with the beginning of any off-duty period of 34 or more consecutive hours; or
395.2 (c)(2) Any period of 8 consecutive days may end with the beginning of any off-duty period of 34 or more consecutive hours.

...and a sleeper birth does not qualify. Howeber if you are delivering a motorhome, you may be able to log all time spent resting inside as off duty per the guidance contained at the following: Interpretation for Part 395: Hours of service of drivers - Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
