As I understand it, you get the benefit of tour special crewmen only when he is awake and on duty. So it may, I guass, pay off to have redundant special abilities if you place them in different shifts.
HOWEVER..... the most sensible thing to do is to have only one guy, regardless of what his shift is - even because you just spent renown on a redundant special ability when you could have purchased another that you did not have - and simply bring the boat to BATTLESTATIONS whenever you need all your abilities at once.
So you will get your special guy out of bed, but so what? that is why he is there anyway.
I think that in most situations, you will only need special abilities turned all on when in extreme situations - and when it is the case, you are usually in battlestations mode.
