Just like in the trucking industry, you're 30 minutes from your destination on a 7+30 duty day but you haven't taken your 30 minute break in 8 hours. So you must pull over, wait 30 minutes, to drive that last 30 minutes. Science!!!
Yeah, why don’t we make an already miserable night even worse by adding an hour or two for a “longer” opportunity for sleep that many can’t do anyways and for what your body is not designed for, and the cherry on top land when at your layover city with the sun already up. Yeah, I see how that makes sense.
