Personally, I like the length of rests, so I would alter how much you recover on a long rest. Here are some other takes on the subject.Hit Dice Recovery Only: When you take a long rest, you regain no hit points and half of your hit dice (minimum one). You may spend your hit dice during the rest as normal.Slow Hit Dice Recovery Only: When you take a long rest,  you regain no hit points and one quarter of your hit dice (minimum one). You  may spend your hit dice during the rest as normal.Slow Natural Healing: When you take a long rest,  you regain hit points equal to your level. If you start your rest with more than half your hit points, you also regain one quarter of your hit dice. You  may spend your hit dice during the rest as normal.</blockquote>
