Please don't give the powers that be an excuse to legislate yet more of our lives. What next? We all have to live next to the airport ( Is Hounslow - West, or Hayes close enough
) and forced to take drug induced sleep to ensure we are rested before that 2000 Local report? Perhaps pilots will not allowed to have children/husbands/wives/domestic minor crises because they may interfere with preflight rest.
In my experience Shorthaul commuting (by air) is less stressful than battling traffic on the UK Major roads and maybe the longhaul commuters may be better acclimatised than the locals for the late night reports and departures, though I'm not advocating jump straight off the longhaul commute and into the Flight Deck.
