By default, a short rest is a 1-hour break while a long rest is a 8-hour night, but the mechanics of it are flexible enough that, in order to get a better sword-and-sorcery vibe, rests can be changed to short rest = 8-hour sleep and long rest = weekend or week-long repose.This means, among other things, that spellcasters do not regain all their spell slots overnight, and that it could take up to a full week before they could cast non-cantrip or non-ritual spells again. This suddenly makes martial characters a lot more interesting, and spellcasting a rarer, less trivial affair.</blockquote>
