If you call battle stations everyone is awake and each compartment gets a boost to performance, but nobody sleeps and thus no one restores fatigue. So if you call everyone to general quarters, make sure you don't forget to let them stand down once the threat is over.
I will add that the active shift or row has a darker background. Battlestations sets all rows as active or dark. Manning guns or activating Damage Control darkens the corresponding sections.
