long rest
Overnight recovery period
A long rest is an extended period of sleep and recovery, particularly in tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, where it typically means eight hours of downtime that restores a character's health, spells, and abilities: We should find an inn and take a long rest before the dungeon.
The term has spread beyond gaming to describe any substantial break for recuperation.
