The first hint of movement to single pilot ops was an EASA study on eMCO.
They concluded that current technology does not support doing that safely, and have abandonded the concept.

I don't like eMCO (where one pilot takes rest out of the cockpit, leaving only one pilot minding the store). But I like controlled napping at a flight crew station. It's a think and has been for a while in some countries, and I think many of of us have seen it action as well
It's restorative, and if the chit hits the fan you're right there in the seat.
