I'll never forget finishing ATC nightshifts and, (particularly after having already worked the previous morning shift), momentarily falling asleep on the one hour drive home, not to mention driving thru red lights and stopping at green lights. That's fatigue. Meanwhile the supervisor or senior ATCs usually had the luxury of a 4 or 5 hour nap whilst 'the workers' ran the centre.
