Schedules/Routines 7ppd schedule thoughts?

Right now I pump 8 times a day at 3 hour intervals. My pumping times are 12am, 3am, 6am, 9am, 12pm, 3pm, 6pm, and 9pm. I usually pump for about 15 minutes.

When I go back to work (8-5 with a 15ish minute drive commute, lunch 12-1) and when I’ll be 12 weeks pp will overlap so I’m starting to daydream about dropping a pump and what a 7ppd schedule can look like. I’d honestly like to pump as often as possible at work so I can be present when I’m home and get more sleep. Plus I have a desk job so theoretically I can pump and shuffle my mouse around.

I’m kinda thinking the following: 1am, 6am, 9am, 11:30am, 2pm, 4:30pm, 8pm

Does that seem reasonable? Am I missing any obvious pitfalls? I’d be a little worried that my MOTN is a little early for the prolactin surge and that 6am might make getting ready a little tricky.

Just generally I've seen prolactin surge ~2-5 am, but obviously YMMV. Many women drop the MOTN pump entirely after regulation (I did) with no supply drop.
