Silly tropes in every iteration of Star Trek

[Forbin]

Nobody is ever in bed, either. It seems that all the main cast are awake and fully dressed at the same time.

THIS! (Almost) every adventure happens during first shift, with the main cast on duty. No mysterious space buoys are ever spotted at 3AM!

Or if they are, Kirk couldn't sleep anyway. But I guess SOP is to take a stimulant. That and sleep hanging on a hook in your quarters fully clothed if you have a feeling it's going to be one of those days.

Maybe there's a nap room just off the bridge.

The warp engines move the ship at the speed of the plot.

I think the only time this happens is in VOY "Warhead"

I wish that the radio traffic reports did that! I'm driving up Maple Street, letting the radio stuff go in one ear and out the other, then hear the announcer mention "... Maple Street at Garden Avenue! Also, we have moderately slow going on Highway 1 ... ."
"What? What's happening at Maple and Garden? I'm almost there! What is it??"
If they gave the location first, I might have a chance to take note of a traffic jam, a wreck, a riot, and so on.

Would it help if they addressed you by name first, just to be on the safe side?

Well, yes, but you take what you can get.
