When I was overseas before the other guy took his controlled rest I’d go back and fill my mug with coffee, SOP was to call back to the cabin crew every 20/40/top of the hour (if we were more than 3 min late they would call us), we also had an Eicas message that if no one touched a button knob or switch every 5 min or so and if you let it go a few minutes longer it would become a warning and all the bells and whistles would go off.
