I can almost imagine a tired crew doing a difficult night approach in the weather, and then microsleeping during the rollout. Does anyone have any stories to relate along that line?
not the way it would happen my friend.
from my experience a micro sleep is caused by the utter exhaustion of the underlying brain circuitry. the micro sleep allows the circuitry to be put out of action and the blood supply to slightly replenish the circuitry.

you are a danger to yourself because you still believe deep down that it is something that is predictable and can be managed.
you cannot predict when it will occur. you may never be aware of your last micro sleep because your shattered body will have ceased living.

as one who has been through this and no longer suffers it, CHANGE YOUR LIFESTYLE.
