Okay, Just to point out one thing, I am a Soldier in real life, there was a training exercise were I was getting about four hours of sleep a night during sleeping for this week we still had watches so if you came up then yes, you only got two hours of sleep after a long day of whatever happened that day. It sucked but no one fell asleep.

A lot of things play into that, what would your friends do to you if they found out, slight paranoia (especially in a situation where you KNOW there are things out there who want to kill you if a DM uses night attacks often.) also you have had to have lost a LOT of sleep before falling asleep standing up is really possible so walking around auto saves.

If the character is already fatigued or exhausted then okay, make them save but i doubt the party would let the exhausted guy have first or second watch, maybe last watch. If they do put him out there they deserve whatever they get lol.

but yeah, in theory it sounds like it would be hard but it isn't. especially for people who craft during watch's that will naturally keep them awake (maybe loose some perception and or take a loss on the craft check) simply walking around or organizing gear.

The save makes sense but it should not affect PC's after a "normal" day. Muscles get conditioned for this sort of thing. I rarely apply real life to my games but if anything it shouldn't be harder for the characters to simple stuff than real life.
