    I’d be up all night and in the morning we couldn’t go to bed until after quarters and the XOs inspection of berthing, which was like 11am.

    Seems like a command staff seriously out to lunch. A good commander would recognize that letting your people get sleep they need is more important than making sure every bed is made correctly.

      Yeah that’s… Not how the Navy does things.

      Sleep deprivation is the norm across the Navy, particularly in the engineering community and particularly in nuclear engineering.

      I would commonly go 36 hours without sleep, generally a few times a month. People keep this up for decades.

        That can only lead to excellent results and will never result in any mistakes whatsoever, I’m absolutely sure.
