Yes. Because it is know that exhausted people make mistakes. The work is too important to let exhausted people screw it up so you should make sure everyone working on it is well rested.

Yes? It is testing an electric motor. They can do it. The solution is that you employ enough people so nobody needs to work 12 hour heroic shifts.
- elteto 3y agoThat “solution” is nothing more than typical HN backseat driving. In the real world there are budget, personnel and hiring constraints. You don’t get to hire all the people you want. You make do with what you have, and try to push the mission forward, even in suboptimal conditions.
