I believe lengthening calendar time between rest is good, but you need to consider a few other factors like exhaustion. My house rule (that is working very nicely for me) is -Short RestA short rest is a period of downtime, at least 3 hours long, during which a character does nothing more strenuous than eating, drinking, reading, and tending to wounds. After taking a short rest, a character can’t benefit from another for about 3 hours.Extended Short RestAn extended short rest is a period of downtime, at least 8 hours long. Along with the standard benefits of a short rest, an extended short rest allows characters to reduce exhaustion by 1 category, and those with sufficient XP can level-up.A character can’t benefit from more than one extended short rest in a 24 hour period.Long RestA long rest is a period of extended downtime, at least 24 hours long, during which a character sleeps for at least 6 hours and performs no more than low-key activity, such as reading, talking, eating, crafting or standing watch. If the rest is interrupted by adventuring activity—fighting, casting spells, an hour or more of marching, or similar—characters must begin the rest again to gain any benefit from it. Along with the standard benefits of a long rest, characters who were not exhausted at the start of the rest can perform 1 day of a downtime activity, and those with sufficient XP can level-up.After taking a long rest, a character can’t benefit from another for about 24 hours.</blockquote>
