ATC sleeping in

Heard on ABC radio today that a QF jet had to hold "over Canberra" because the duty controller had supposedly "slept in".

If it's true, I feel for you mate. I hope you come out of it with a second chance. As if nobody else has ever overslept before.

Sleep is very underrated in this day and age.

I wouldn't have thought that the previous duty controller would've left the building unattended though, knowing that there was no one to talk on the radio. Seems odd.

Anyone got any insight to offer on this one?
