A pilot on TikTok, known as @pilot_geeza, responded to a statistic that claimed 46 percent of pilots admit to falling asleep while flying. The pilot confirmed that pilots do fall asleep in the cockpit but explained that there are two types of rest they are allowed to have: controlled napping and controlled rest. Controlled napping is limited to 30 minutes, while controlled rest is limited to 45 minutes. The pilot also mentioned that they need a 20-minute period after controlled rest to ensure they are not groggy. Many people in the comments section expressed support for pilots getting rest to prevent fatigue.
