It works like this:

Your crew gradually become tired over a period of days/weeks. They tire slowly when cruising (i.e. when on watch / in the command room / radio room), a bit quicker cruising in bad weather, and very quickly (relatively speaking) in battle (torpedo loading / repair). Putting them in quarters doesn't actually regenerate any fatigue, but crew in quarters will not lose any either.

The idea is that this models the crew gradually becoming more and more worn out over the course of a mission, so they are very effective at the start but after 2 weeks of patrol/battle they'll be tired and less effective. I quite like it actually.

BTW, you don't have to stay at 1x for it to work, but you do have to stay lower than your "3D TC" setting (default 32, but if you have a decent PC you can crank this all the way up to 1024 no problem).
