To Sleep or Not to Sleep

There is a hot debate about lone Air Traffic Controllers falling asleep while on night duty. It has been suggested that a second controller should be hired at an annual salary of $163,000 as a safety precaution.

I have a question: Why hire an extra controller when it’s much cheaper to hire someone whose only function is to keep the sleepy ATC awake?
