G'day 3 Holer, I'd disagree with that statement to the extent that work is not the only thing that causes fatigue. Even with adequate rest rostered, one cannot mandate that the body will rest.

I assume that insomnia affects many people from time to time, it certainly does me, on the odd occasion. Ad to this the neighbours who don't check the rostered start time when they start the weekly jazz session next door. And there goes effective rest & sleep.
