Plenty of GA colleagues used to fly with a digital watch tucked inside headset with alarm set to get off before top of descent.
I can’t remember the name of that so called aviation expert (not JT, some other ignorant numpty) quoted as saying that aviation fatigue rules are rigorous and it shouldn’t happen.
Well mr numpty, it’s been happening for decades. The only change is that this poor bloke was on ADSB etc and got caught out. Unfortunately the story got picked up internationally and isn’t a good luck for the industry.
Hopefully he survives CASA /AVMED. .

. I don't recall a similar situation with any other charter operator ever.
you haven’t been around long have you?
