sevensideddie -- How are Long Rest interruptions meant to work? The land is in confusion & dismay!
mikemearls -- interruption needs to be a full hour. Testers: "We rest 7 hours, a kobold knocks on the door, and now we have to start over?
sevensideddie -- Oh. But that means combat will never interrupt rest, since a 600-round combat is unheard of. Why list it at all then?
mikemearls -- there could be cases where it's valid - fight starts, now you need to leave the dungeon
sevensideddie -- Ah, so it’s meant to be fairly rare, more “we’ve given up resting for now,” not just attacks on the camp.
mikemearls -- exactly

dmgpunk-- JeremyECrawford Hope you're having a restful night. Speaking of rest, will participating in 1 round of combat break a short/long rest?
JeremyECrawford -- Any amount of fighting breaks a short rest. A long rest can withstand an interruption of up to 1 hour.
