We all get tired, but fatigue is a very different matter – and drinking coffee does not help! As a seafarer, I have experienced both. I describe fatigue as being so tired that you cannot think straight and often don’t see the whole picture. It is a debilitating and, at times, dangerous situation. We must recognise the symptoms of fatigue in ourselves as well as in others. The consequences of failing to do so can literally be a matter of life and death. It can be hard to speak up, but you need to recognise when it is time to do so
