Gymble,
At the risk of incurring Heliport's wrath....that response to Devil was insulting to all of us here....if not personally at least on an intellectual level.
Your simplistic (I really should say "moronic") suggestion of working with management by say...going to permanent night shift as the best (cheapest to management) solution is complete bollocks.
What does a Night Shift worker do on his time off....keep sleeping days while the kids and wife go about their Day shift lives?
Of course not....the Night Shift worker reverts to Day shift....thus ensuring his first several days on shift are exhausting affairs.
The best preventive device is arriving at work with a "sleep bonus".....and not a sleep deficit. Taking a good long nap and arising just before heading into work is the key to making it through the shift with the least harm to your system.
I would suggest you read up on your crew rest studies before you offer such opinions.
