  After the 5th of February, given that I have to play for a week, can I not be given a break?
  
  I *think* the 一週間遊ぶしかないので part is just a subordinate adverbial clause giving a reason for something, and I think the date at the start of the sentence isn't part of that clause. The independent main clause should make sense on its own. So, with the subordinate clause removed:
  
  ２月５日後、私を休ませてくれませんか？ = "After the 5th of February, could you let me have a break?". Depending on context, exactly the same as the situation is for that sentence in English, it might mean either: that you are asking for time off to go play for a week, or that you are asking for time off to recover from playing for a week. But in either case, you want to be given time off specifically after the 5th of February.
  
  Or I could be completely wrong. Just my thoughts. :P

  yeah I think so too mog but it is really hard to tell if you don't really know the way someone talks but I've guessed that too, much more suitable in the context
