No, we don't, and the flight crew walks up to the gate in the morning with 4-5 hours of sleep in that case. There are all the passengers, ready to go. Half of them were already asleep when the flight crew was on final approach the night before.

The FAA does not care about safety as long as this stuff goes on.
