Yep, which is why in GWX the watch crew on the bridge fatigues much more rapidly in a storm.
Read page 31-32 of the GWX manual for further details.
That being said... fatigue rates in GWX do not account for Bernard untying your hammock.
Tiny bit from page 31 of the GWX manual:
"The length of an historical U-boat crewmember’s watch ranged from four to eight hours depending on the duty watch position:
• The typical watch cycle for the bridge officer and lookouts was usually four hours on the bridge as lookouts; four hours performing maintenance and other duties; eight hours of Commander’s Time, and eight hours off duty.
• Radio operators, sound gear operators, torpedo room crews, helmsmen, and officers generally had eight hours on duty, eight hours of Commander’s Time, and eight hours off duty.
• The engine room crew had six hours on duty and six hours off duty, which resulted in more on-duty hours in a high-stress environment in return for serving no duty as exposed bridge lookouts
