Good point!

Thank you Singapurcanac.

Fatigue is an internationally widely recognized factor related to
aviation safety.

One of the points is, that ATC as a job differs significantly
from some other jobs. ATCOs and Pilots as well need to keep their
physical and mental balance at all times.
Fatigue is a factor.

I remember vaguely a list of the most stressfull jobs in the whole world:
1. Neurosurgeon
2. Mining expert
3. ATCO
etc...

Prolongued stress+fatigue together are not vitamine for anybody.
