You will have designated nap periods which will be deducted from your nightly rest and duty limits
Your pay will also be docked .4 for every 20min nap

On a different note Both Daimler Benz and PSA automotive group (Citroen/Peugeot) have designed snoozing detectors that follow and monitor eye movement. These systems warn the drivers by shaking the seats. I could see something similar being useful in a cockpit...
