[QUOTE="Ninja-to, post: 5604541, member: 19551"] This is a great response and answers all my questions. I also found that in the PHB under extended rest, it says specifically that you don't actually have to 'sleep' to gain the benefits of the extended rest, and it seems fairly obvious that it was not referring to Eladrin trances etc. By the way this problem came up during a watch when the party was attacked and the player (normally in full plate) decided to run into the battle after being woken up. I had (and still have) a minor problem with the image of a guy lying down with all that metal on him.
