Narrative:

During malay one arrival to sea, flew past fourt intersection approximately 3 miles before starting turn to 340 degree heading as required in STAR arrival. This happened because I was very tired because I did not sleep well the night before the trip and I was pre-occupied looking out for thunderstorm build-ups on our arrival route to sea. Callback conversation with reporter revealed following information. Reason reporter was so tired was his apprehension about the early hour he had to get up. He had trouble falling asleep and the later it got, the more anxious he became and the more trouble he had getting to sleep. A vicious cycle. He attributed his navigation deviation to a lapse of concentration due to fatigue and not to complacency.

Title: OVERSHOT TURN DEPICTED IN STAR BY THREE MILES.

Narrative: DURING MALAY ONE ARR TO SEA, FLEW PAST FOURT INTXN APPROX 3 MILES BEFORE STARTING TURN TO 340 DEG HEADING AS REQUIRED IN STAR ARR. THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE I WAS VERY TIRED BECAUSE I DID NOT SLEEP WELL THE NIGHT BEFORE THE TRIP AND I WAS PRE-OCCUPIED LOOKING OUT FOR TSTM BUILD-UPS ON OUR ARR ROUTE TO SEA. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED FOLLOWING INFO. REASON RPTR WAS SO TIRED WAS HIS APPREHENSION ABOUT THE EARLY HOUR HE HAD TO GET UP. HE HAD TROUBLE FALLING ASLEEP AND THE LATER IT GOT, THE MORE ANXIOUS HE BECAME AND THE MORE TROUBLE HE HAD GETTING TO SLEEP. A VICIOUS CYCLE.
