Parabellum,

There is a bit more to controlled rest than that, or at least there should be.
The cabin crew should be informed that it is happening and they should then contact the awake pilot at regular specified intervals to check that all is well. This procedure is authorised in our Ops Manual and I presume other airlines have similar.
