Question on sleeping in armor

[Mash]

The Core Rulebook says:

Quote:

Sleeping in Armor: A character who sleeps in medium or heavy armor is automatically fatigued the next day. He takes a –2 penalty on Strength and Dexterity and can't charge or run. Sleeping in light armor does not cause fatigue.

And:

Quote:

Most mithral armors are one category lighter than normal for purposes of movement and other limitations. Heavy armors are treated as medium, and medium armors are treated as light, but light armors are still treated as light. This decrease does not apply to proficiency in wearing the armor. A character wearing mithral full plate must be proficient in wearing heavy armor to avoid adding the armor's check penalty to all his attack rolls and skill checks that involve moving.

So Mash want to know: Do this mean me can sleep in shiny, new mithral breastplate without bein' too sleepy to fight good in da mornin'?

as written.

all mythral armor is medium or light armor.

so mythral chain, mythral chain shirt and the mythral breastplate would be considered light armor.

as poor rules yes, you would not wake up with battle fatigue in the morning.

in the spirit of things though, the mythral breastplate might be pushing it with the plates.

but if the dm says no....

Other than proficiency, mithral counts in all ways as an armor one category lighter, including sleeping in armor.

Which means that mithral plate will still fatigue you if you don't have endurance.

Breastplates are Medium, a mithral breasplate would be treated as light for all purposes aside from proficiency. When you sleep in it, it is treated as light. You awake bright and refreshed, as though you had slept in some leather armor or a chain shirt.

Mithral full plate or half-plate or field plate would be treated as medium for sleep and fatigue you without endurance.

I am unsure what "mithral plate" is? A dinner plate perhaps, or possibly a serving platter? Seems such a thing would make for poor armor.
