I have a simple fix for the issue of entire crew falling asleep. The issue was one of not recovering enough when they are sleeping.

In the Data Folder there is a folder called upcdata, and in it another called upcunitsdata. In there you will find several files for the various sub types. I was sailing a Tambor, so I edited that file: UnitParts7Tambor.upc AFTER BACKING IT UP TO A DIFFERENT NAME, such as UnitParts7Tambor.upc.bak.

In the file, in a number of places, you will see a line:
SleepCoef= -0.12

Each compartment on the sub has such a line. Double it to -0.24
Note it is a minus amount. This doubles the recovery value of sleep in this compartment. I didn't alter anything else, nor any other file.

I ran a 3 week patrol and recorded the results for various sailors in various compartments. I then took one man and moved him around. I discovered that my system works fine for all ranks, all compartments.

I also ran in x256, x512, 1556, x2048, and higher with no change in efficiency of the sleep.

I also discovered that recovery is different for various men and for the same man in different compartments. This may be due to their rank, experience, being out of position, who knows. It is realistic.

No crew member had difficulty staying awake and was fully recovered in time to do his shifts.

There are files for each sub type, so edit the one(s) you use.

Seems like you did not read maerean_m post as he said it was fixed in the 1.4 patch.

Since 1.4 I've saved a little before, a little after crew change and saved game, came back awhile later and crew were at the same level as I left them.

Of course they were not left at "Battle Stations" either.
