In an MD80 coupled up with a minimums approach to MSY had everything disconect at 300 feet in the clouds because of some turbulence. We corrected everything and broke out and landed.

If you were so fatigued you couldn't land without autoland should you be flying that leg?

I quit flying all nighters because I didn't feel alert enough at 3AM to feel safe. They didn't feel alert enough to land so did the PAN transmission. That is not safe either. Some of us can't sleep during the day, I can't.
