No official ruling, and there are cards like Chop Shop that let you
pull items from it, so I'd say you can if you feel the need.

The Objective.

No. Personnel explicitly say personnel. Sleep is used on challenges
only.

I know the rule book says to subtract Fatigue from both Attack Value
and Body, but it makes more sense to me to think of it this way:

For figuring this count fatigue as only reducing the Attack Value. The
Attack Value cannot drop below zero. No funky healing someone by
hitting them with a negative Attack Value. :o)

Fatigue doesn't actually decrease your Body Rating, it's just that
when damage counters equal or exceed Body Rating you're dead.

However, I'm gonna bounce this one off FASA as well.
