Narrative:

While descending for landing in VMC with the speed brakes extended; we were navigating direct to the final approach fix at an acute angle. After accepting a clearance for a visual approach; I failed to alter the course to provide a better base-leg angle; and allow additional time and room to set up for the approach. I removed my hand from the speed brakes lever and; distracted by configuring; forgot that they were extended. Joining the final; we flew through the final approach course and; as we turned to rejoin with flaps 30 and extended speed brakes; the stick shaker activated momentarily. The speed brakes were stowed; final joined; and aircraft stable at 1;000 feet. After landing; we debriefed as a crew; discussing the circumstances that led to the situation including my failure to adjust the course and allow more time for configuration; the hour of the day; and fatigue. We recognize that allowing additional space and time for completing tasks prior to an approach is essential; especially during early morning hours when we are more likely to feel the effects of fatigue.
