Crj-200 first officer describes fatigue accumulated over a month of flying due to insufficient time ...

Narrative:

When I woke up early this morning I felt really tired; more than usual; and when I got to the airplane I found it really hard to stay focused on doing my duties. This is day five (5) for me. I picked this trip up out of open time which would have put me at 8 days off total for the month but I thought I could have completed this trip having one (1) day off and then finishing the month with a four (4) day trip. The captain asked about my schedule and agreed that I was not fit for duty; in the last week I had about an average of 5 hours of sleep per night. The captain and I completed the flight with no errors or threats. I've learned that I have to manage my rest and sleeping patterns better.
