They never really grappled with the fact that on a real naval ship you have, y'know, watch officers and duty shifts and don't have senior staff hanging out on the bridge all day; I mean occasionally they'd mention it e.g. with Data on the night watch or Jellico switching from 3 to 4, but not really.
