I tell my engineers - if you get paged off hours, however much time you spend resolving the issue, take that time back from the next workday.
I also practice what I preach - if I get paged at 3am and work on the issue until 5am, I'll come in 2 hours late or leave 2 hours early.
This is how we do it here as well but I find the lack of sleep even if I went home an hour or two earlier impacts the entirety of the workday.
Also why not come in later and take that time in the morning?
1 carpark, carpool with partner at a set starting time or else pay thousands of dollars for parking per year. It's not really worth it end of the day.
I would think that an on-call night would make for an automatic work from home day + sleeping in the following day.
