One solution is to only allow long rests in safe zones, or less frequently etc.The problem with this can be that it overly benefits classes that recover abilities after short rests like warlocks or fighters.We parse the benefits of a long rest a bit.-Spells and character powers are recovered-Half total hit dice are recovered and may be spent to recover hp-No hp are healed except as above.one could make it that you recover only half your spell levels per long rest etc. but I like characters to be able to have most of their tricks up their sleeve.I find as DM I want to encourage short rests so I tend to make them easy. I do see how this can overly benefit fighters etc - haven't quite worked out what to do. I like the Wizards arcane recovery as an idea to give a partial benefit to those who are basically long rest recovery characters.</blockquote>
