I think maybe having a better understanding would help me if trying to help you.We play with a long rest (i.e. sleep) whenever the "real life" of the story allows it. Sometimes that means maybe just a single encounter between long rests, and other times it might be a dozen or more. Short rests come in between, again, whenever the "real life" of the story allows one. I would say, except for infiltration or dungeon crawl-style adventures, our adventuring day probably is 2-4 encounters between long rests on average already.I am certainly not trying to naysay your goal, but it seems like a lot of work for something and I am not certain what benefit you are hoping to achieve...Going to your post/point about Barbarian rages. Sure, if you have 3 rages and end up with only three encounters, maybe you raged in all of them... but maybe you didn't, because you don't know those encounters are all that will be coming before you get in a long rest. Sure, as the day wanes on an you think a long rest is likely (you are approaching a town, etc.), and you have rages left it becomes sort of a "use it or lose it" thing, but even then when you get to the town--you just never know what is going to happen. Suddenly, you used up your last rage, and find out no long rest is coming because you have stuff to do now!If your DMing style is a "hey, every four encounters you will get a long rest" then I guess I can see where you might be coming from, but that style is so different from any I've ever played with or experienced, personally I would find it too mundane.If I am way off-base, please let me know.</blockquote>
