If you are implying "nappy time" is professional, then make it part of the SOPs - before every circadian period, the professional pilots land, park, shutdown - nap and then are ready to go.

I'm all for that.....

Or.....start RVSM + N ("N" for nappy time) keep traffic separated by 5k altitude and 25 mile lateral. ATC can wake up the crews, just like the Johnson Space Center wakes up the Shuttle crew with music.
