As the FAA has lately demonstrated, single person night shifts is generally a bad thing if you actually want them to stay awake.
-- Jeff Shultz
Jeff, there are other reasons for not having a single individual on an overnight shift. A person can have an unexpected medical emergency at any time or experience an accident. Getting help to them quickly can make a difference between life and death. Even choking on a meal can have a completely different outcome if there is another person available. Having only one person in a facility overnight by themselves just isn't a good idea, in my opinion.
