To my knowledge, distances flown by XLRs do not require a relief pilot and pilots can have planned naps in their seats.
As long as they don't wake up mistaking the moon for an oncoming plane again, everything should be OK.
Now, for the FAs...I pity those stuck on these flights. No where really to hide on an A321 for 7+ hours.
