Which is why they're primed for fatigue calls. Take an afternoon nap in preparation for a late evening departure? Boom, 0400 report that you can't get any sleep for. Try to go to bed early in preparation for an early morning report? Boom, called at 2101 to DH out to repo a broken plane back to base, release at 0300.
