[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 7213998"] I usually allow my players to skip one night of rest per week without exhaustion. There's no recoup of spells and HP of course when they do that. Also, "long rest" and "sleep" are not the same. Joe the human wizard requires a long rest to get his spells back, and 8 hours of sleep to let his body recover. Joe could easily spend Noon to 8pm "resting" to get his spells back and then sleep from 8pm to 4am. There's nothing really stopping any player from doing this. A good reason for this might be that Joe's party is defending a fort. Day 1 was quiet, and nobody used any spells or whatever, but they went to sleep all the same. The fort was attacked by dawn and the battle was fierce, and they had to burn most of the resources. The battle was brief though, lasting from 5am to 8am. However, the Bad Guy swore to return at dusk with an even greater force. So Joe's party takes a "long rest" in the middle of the day, say from 10am to 6pm. And around 7pm, Bad Guy shows up again as promised. For attacks that happen in the middle of the day, or small skirmishes that are strung out over the course of the day, players will be inclined to overlap sleep and resting. [/QUOTE]
