Need more proof? Here you go...Yes that's right it says "a good night’s sleep", & I know or an "equivalent". Regardless this type of rest can only happen once per day as MThibaut's post has already explained.This "flavour" text, if yo would like to think about it that way, Explains quite clearly how the "spells per day" system is suppose to work. Use all your spells, suffer for the rest of the day without if you used them all, sleep for the night, get up the next morning after a night of rest study & do it all again. not use all your spells, rest for 8 hours, restudy, use all your spells, rest for 8 hours, restudy, use all your spells... ect. ect. Holy! Would you look at that... "A wizard’s level limits the number of spells she can prepare and cast" probably per the "Spells per day" list. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />"A wizard’s high Intelligence score (see Table 1–1: Ability Modifiers and Bonus Spells, page 8) might allow her to prepare a few extra spells. She can prepare the same spell more than once, but each preparation counts as one spell toward her daily limit." This would mean that there is a sum total maximum number of spells you can have per day... Period. Not to be confused with what some people think would be "maximum spell per ever 8 - 9 ish hours"."The character does not have to slumber for every minute of the time, but she must refrain from... mental task during the rest period" MThibaut's post sums this up nicely "I deliberately worded my example to show that just because you are lying in bed does not mean that you are resting. Try it. No books, no headphones, and not in the least bit tired? You will be restlessly bored for over half the time you are lying down."I've always thought that in the case of elven mages, they simply extend their trance / meditation. to a full 8 hours.  "After resting, a wizard must study her spellbook to prepare any spells that day. If the character wants to prepare all her spells, the process takes 1 hour. Preparing some smaller portion of her daily capacity..." I would think this would imply that their is a fixed daily limit as per the "Spells per day" chart. "had prepared from the previous day" Doesn't this imply that you can only prepare spells once per day to the maximum of your alloted spells as per the spells per day list? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />If you can leave slots open? Why would you do that if you could restudy all your spells more then once in a day? Because you can't drop & restudy all your spells that's why... "She cannot, however, abandon a previously prepared spell to replace it with another one or fill a slot that is empty because she has cast a spell in the meantime.That sort of preparation requires a mind fresh from rest." a mind fresh from rest... have you ever slept to much or sat around, resting or sleeping, for 8 hours after having had a full nights sleep. You do not feel FRESH in mind, or body. You feel ill, generally with a head ache, groggy & slow. Sorry if I came across sarcastically in this post, it was unintentional. I just think that it is abundantly clear that Wizards (as with all spell casters) do indeed have a maximum number of spells per day cap as listed in the chart in the wizards class section of the PHB (modified by the bonus spells per day list of course)</blockquote>
