IMO this is not the flight controller's issue, unless he was not preparing adequately for his shift.

Is this a joke? Maybe it's just me, but I have never ever fell asleep on the job or fell asleep when I had a big responsibility to do.
It's a 10pm-6am shift for crying out loud. People who work at 7/11 have longer night shifts than that. How on earth do you fall asleep on the job unless you never got enough sleep in the day? He knew the shift he had and never got enough sleep obviously. Totally his fault and I can't believe this is even a discussion.
