I would suggest they get sleep before coming into work.

What if they do and they're drowsy anyway?

What is the penalty for showing up for your shift incapacitated?

Utilizing the sick policy if they don't.


That's not permitted.

Really? What constitutes sick then? Do you have to have a doctor's
note? Does a headache count? From articles I read, NY controllers
were using the sick policy to a great extent so obviously some people
are incapacitated enough to not show up for their shift.

Maybe. But what is the problem with napping while on a break anyway?

The controlling authority (now) says its forbidden.
