There's only so much sleep the characters can take!- Don't allow an Extended Rest unless the party can find a suitable resting spot: it must be relatively secure, relatively defensible, they must consume one day's rations/water, they must have tents available... basically, set the conditions as tough as you need to for it to feel 'right'.- When the PCs take an Ex Rest, have the monsters re-group, reinforce and re-equip. If the party are resting too often, it's valid for you to up the monster numbers without increasing the XP/treasure - the party are taking it easy, facing lesser challenges than the monster numbers would indicate, so they get less reward.- Throw in random encounters, especially at night (and double especially if they're resting in the dungeon). When there is an attack, be especially anal about the PCs being unprepared - require an action to get out of the tent, an action to grab a weapon, many actions to don armour...- Include time-based quests, either directly (in three days, the sun dies...), or indirectly (there's another party out there, if you don't act fast, they get the glory!).</blockquote>
