That argument felt so weird. 4 shifts means less time on duty each day, so wouldn't people be happier, but it also reduces man-power for each shift. It felt like Jellico should have been pushing for 3 and Riker for 4.
4 shifts means everyone is alert and rested at all times while out of combat, and if combat breaks out, a second off-duty shift can be deployed at a moment's notice. You have better rested soldiers and more of them when it counts.
Riker said nobody's gonna be well rested if you change their sleeping hours a few days before battle.
Well yeah but thats what space amphetamines are for.
