Father’s a doctor, my mom and I used to sleep with him during his duty days. Was constantly getting knocks, doesn’t matter what time of the day it was or if he was sleeping.
Shouldn’t proper sleep be important for doctors? He’s a surgeon and the room we were in was very close to the E.R, I’m assuming he does work there (still not sure to this day, was a little kid back then).

We’ve evolved to function under constant stress with little sleep for survival reasons.
Imagine our ancestor resting after escaping a predator. If bad luck happened and another predator spotted them, those who could get up and mobilise enough energy for another escape survived.
But that only works for a while.
I hope your dad got enough rest between those shifts or it is likely to have taken a toll on him/his health.
