Having read Das Boot and seen the TV show I really should know this but a simple question - at what time did a captain of a U Boat actually sleep

As a virtual captain you are up and fresh whenever you are needed - so in theory you are never asleep in the game but in reality what shift would a captain downtime ?

I presume he would sleep during the day and be more active at night because the bulk of sinking / hunting was done at night - the U Boats advantage.
