It’s not an outrageous requirement to be conscious during a duty day.
Sure, when you are in cruise, it’s a low threat phase of flight, but if you need a nap in cruise, chances are you were fatigued when you departed.
A much better system is to allow pilots to remove themselves from duty, without repercussions, when they are fatigued.
The TRUs are right in the front so most of the electronics probably went off instantly. If I remember correctly the FADEC (engine control) boxes were in the aft equipment bay, so they may have stayed on for a minute, but I have to imagine with that much of the equipment destroyed they probably shut down.
