What kind of DM and group do you have that grant your characters 8h of sleep? I agree with all of the other points. But in my D&D times it was often some surprise encounter during the night, or the other characters were fine with just 4h of sleep and I was the only idiot who needed the full 8h.

I let my players get rest because there is zero difference between cramming encounters into resting periods and just having them happen during the day. Total encounters for the day is total encounters for the day, and each one generally takes less than an in game minute to play out since most last 5 or fewer rounds.

Plus not having it be a standard occurrence means having a rare encounter interrupting a rest will have a bigger psychological impact because it stands out.

I just use a ring of sustenance. That would be nice IRL.

Though, that takes 2.500 gp and character level 5. If I had that IRL, I'd also fly for 10mins, deal several d6 of damage and snoop on people with clairvoyance. 🙃
