[QUOTE="Nik_the_Pig, post: 1426383, member: 1647"] Well I agree with others that the RAW are a little lacking in their coverage of this issue. I'd be careful letting characters get away with little sleep but putting a figure on what's enough is hard (do elves need sleep in your campaign?). I'm a police officer now, am youngish, quite fit, eat well etc etc and particularly on night shift, even after 6-8hour sleep during the day am still rats**t by 3am in the morning. It takes me 3-4 days before I'm able to function fully on a changed sleeping paten. I was in the military before this and could operate well on 2-3hours interrupted sleep as long as I grabbed what rest I could when I could (5min sleep here and there, putting the brain on auto pilot when cleaning my weapons, etc). I could sleep on (almost) anything (put my neck out sleeping on some rocks once) but sleeping in kevlar is tough. Having said all this my dad's almost 70, has a bit of a gut on him, drinks a goodly amount, regularly gets less than 2 hours sleep and still has the energy to go on 7 day motorcycle safaris.
