with 2 people onboard, yes it is possible to keep a 24 hour watch going, however, come early morning, both people will still be really tired and worn out, and at that point, if the person on watch is overly tired, then its doing no good anyways. a 3rd person here makes a huge difference, allowing that little bit more rest between watch shifts makes an enormous difference.

you also have to keep in mind when schedualing watches, that some people are going to already be up early to prep for the morning, chefs would be up prepping breakfast, and Stews are up cleaning the dining areas and lounges before guests are up and about.
