Narrative:

After sitting on reserve all day I was given a continuous duty overnight with no prior warning. I had been awake since XA00 am the day before, flew to xna, slept approximately 4 hours and flew back to dfw. This amounted to 4 hours of sleep in a 24 hour period from XA00 to XX00 am. I believe this to be very dangerous due to the nature of flying and wish to have rules enforced to stop practices such as this.
