[QUOTE="TallIan, post: 6901374, member: 6853819"] Physical fitness does play a major part in how well you cope with the lack of sleep. Willpower comes into it when you push past that need for sleep to try and achieve something, ie "I'm too tired to bother cooking and eating or making a proper camp, I'll just sit here in the cold and rain." The first 24 to 48 hours are not that hard, though people not suffering from sleep deprivation will notice your ability to perform decrease. The bigger issue is getting through quite periods - especially in the dark. Actually frequent short rests (not talking about the 5e mechanic here) become MORE important. I would probably stick with CON saves. Assuming a start time of 08:00 day 1 Check to stay awake, if they aren't active at: 03:00 Day 2 18:00 Day 2 Midnight 03:00 Day 3 and then any time they stop, (even for a few minutes) From nightfall on day 3 a CON check every night, if they fail give them a -2 penalty to all checks for thie first failure and then a level of exhaustion for each failure after that.
