[QUOTE="MThibault, post: 471869, member: 7971"] My group just assumes (much to my delight) that it is nearly impossible to sleep for 8 hours four hours after you've had a full night's rest. You'll only sleep for an hour or two if you go to bed at 6:00PM instead of 9:00. Unless of course you are ill or seriously sleep-deprived, in which case there should be penalties that have been applied during your waking time -- but no one has tried to pull that one, so I haven't thought about what these might be. The letter of the rules allows 2 full spell-preparations followed by 8 hours of restful sleep per 24 hour period (more if your days are 28 hours). The spirit of the rules is one full spell-preparation per day. Common sense generally supports the spirit of the rules. Given that there are no "sleeping" rules, the DM can adjudicate naps as he sees fit. I would see fit to say: "You wake up after about an hour. You toss and turn, restlessly for another half an hour but can't fall back asleep." Then maybe make the PC have trouble falling asleep that night for trying to be so cheesy: "You go to bed around 9:00PM, but you lie there counting the cracks on the ceiling until around 1:00AM. I guess you shouldn't have had that nap this afternoon." ;) Cheers. [/QUOTE]
