that h'OCL, if you will. \4hether it's low because vou napped or lorv because
you got lots of sleep the night beiore doesn't matter. Both would be the best.
Shotild vou stay up ttntil 3:00 ,2.m. so yott can sleep later in tlæ aftentr'tvt?
Not necessarily, no.
Shotild vou stick with normal sleeping and then try to get a nap befort vott 8o to u,ork?
Yeah, I would say as much sleep as possible. But here again you need to know
yourself a little bit. But that's not what rulemaking is aX about. Rulemaking is
what fits everybody. Because of the uncertainty of being able to take a nap, I
mean it's uncertain for me and I think it's uncertain for pilots. Although again,
since pilots are generally more sleep deprived, they are more able to nap. If vou
felt able to take a nap with absolute certainV, then you should take a nap. But
also get vour needed amount of sleep the night before.
