Fair enough. Since I can't say I've ever actually seen this 'normal' adventuring day happen at a table in play, my judgement may be skewed. :p
I've never seen it happen at normal rest speed. The only times I've seen it are with some variation of it takes about a week for a long rest to happen. That way the DM can have one encounter on day 1, none on day 2, two on day 3, none on days 4 and 5, three on day 6, and one on day 7. Insert long rest then. The PCs have to sleep every night, but the long rest only happens around the 7th day.

Yeah that seems a more reasonable pace. You know I've had multiple DMs express commitment to running a "gritty realistic" game, and the only rest variant I ever saw was to make short rests more difficult.. and it didn't even matter since we weren't getting multiple short rests anyway. Table variation is something else.
