It's only intimidation if you let it be, and they succeed. If they're paying for it, let them spend all that money. Part of the diagnosis is questioning. If if you've ever actually fallen asleep in the cockpit, or anywhere else for no reason then you might. If you answer the question, "I called in fatigued because I'm tired and might fall asleep." Then you're clear. Just say, "I'm making sure that I'm properly rested."
