I considered that anyone sleeping in heavy armor only gets a move and a minor the first round of combat if woken while sleeping, but that could also be reasoned that a player that got knocked unconious would be penalized the same in the middle of the fight. It also penalizes the defenders. Another idea I played with was any player sleeping in thier armor was to deny bonuses to AC from sources outside of the amor's AC bonus if they were awoken in the middle of the night. I toyed with the idea of getting one less healing surge than normal for that day. Finally I decided to hand wave the whole issue and just tell the players that they feel irritable and achey if so demanded by the plot. Maybe slip in a -1 penalty to a social skill, acrobatics, or atheletics skill sometime during that day behind the screen after i'd told them how they feel in the morning and they don't do anything about it, like stretch, wash thier face, have coffee or something.</blockquote>
