Wow, what a story. I hope you never had to make use of that sixth sense ever again though.
Is there no "dead-man switch" that one can activate which would sound an alarm to prevent falling asleep unless deactivated every X minutes?
The very reason why such a device may be used could indeed indicate that the crew themselves believe they may need need it, therefore suggesting that a chance of fatigue exists which in turn would be contravening to their obligations under CAO 48.1.
