If the answer is less than 5 in the last 4 years then it's ultimately you who has less respect deserved from your fellow crew members. If your "pushing through" then you sir are the one single handedly allowing the degrading conditions you so blame the trainers for.
Stop blaming others and be professional about what your licence mandates of you. If the conditions are such that there is doubt in your ability to complete the duty you MUST NOT FLY. It's as simple as that. .
So are you suggesting that taking controlled rest is somehow unprofessional?
