Even if doctors are sleeping on call, providing they are at work, that time has to be regarded as coming within the ambit of the performance of their duties and so counts as working time for the purposes of the Directive.
The BMA holds the opinion that brief periods of rest in a hospital on-call room are entirely different to periods spent sleeping in one's own bed and consequently should not be classed as equivalent for the purposes of the Regulations.
We suspect that many of these doctors have not signed agreements opting out of the 48-hour weekly working hours limit although the BMA is aware that there are trusts that apply pressure to doctors to formally opt out.
