Long Rest in a dungeon or hostile area will never work in any campaign I’m running, and I use the RAW. Even resting in the wilderness, I’ll have a player (usually the ranger) roll a survival check. If they roll decent enough they don’t have any chance of being bumped during the rest. If they roll low, then I’ll roll a d6 and have a random encounter on a 6.
Short rests I don’t mess with much, as long as there is a reasonable place to have the rest in.
A rule that tends to be overlooked is only one long rest per 24 hrs. I try to make time a resource in my game, so if the players want to hang out in a town for a day so they can get a long rest without worry, so be it, but you better believe the bad guys are reinforcing their positions or coming up with ways to outsmart the players.
