I suppose it depends on the thing(s) being monitored though. I certainly do not want to have 4 people for my always-on development project. I am designing the system to be as fault tolerant and self-healing as possible so I do not have to have people (read: me) awakened at 3AM with alerts. Maybe I'm insane or overly optimistic or both. Designing things to bend and not break is really difficult and time consuming. "Thanks Captain Obvious! You are so insightful!" No, I know, but I'm going through the cutting-of-teeth ritual now so these kinds of things are on my mind.

It doesn't necessarily depend on the things you are monitoring. If you are running one server, don't sweat it - if you are running anything more than 20+ server (my preference) and the capacity is constantly growing and you still don't have a 24/7 sysadmin. I think you are doing it wrong. The key point is, if your business model depends on more user usage ie, more uploads more money (on a 60 server scale), you would like to have someone standby all the time.
