How dare you refer to fatigue as a buzzword.

I did a continuous duty overnight today and slept from 9AM to 2pm when I got home.

The thing is, I could have had an entire workday scheduled after our early arrival because our layover time at the hotel was actually long enough to be called a reduced rest layover. Which, according to xjtguy, is what this crew had done not long before this incident took place.

So while I was able to come home and sleep as long as I wanted, I could have been in that plane landing on a 75 foot wide runway when, as evidenced by how long I slept when I got home, my body would have not been in any other rest state than one of fatigue.
