I don't see where it says you must take off your armor so you can rest. And really i don't ever see anyone taking off their armor to do so when theres open vaccum just on the other side of the bulkhead. Or in hostile terratory when an enemy could jump out at you any moment your gaurds down. It has been several thousand years since pathfinder's full metal plate armor. Has starfinder accounted for improvement in armor design?
If they have and there is a ruling hidden in the crb/DM's guide/or the one that gave us the dragonkin race. That would really useful to have a page number so it can be shown to my GM who insists that all armor must be removed so rest can happen.

"Improved" is a bit strong.
Yes, doesn't seem to be any armor removal requirement, nor any penalty to casting spells, but the starting KAC for a 1st level starfinder is often considerably less than the starting KAC of a Pathfinder in armor (like a fighter). Chainmail is probably better armor in terms of protection than anything a starfinder can get at first level.
In general, the item levels really restrict starfinder PCs in a way that pathfinders are not impaired.

The rule about being fatigued from sleeping in medium or heavy armor in Pathfinder can be found in the Endurance feat. Starfinder has no corresponding feat and in fact has rules about how many days the life support provided by your armor can last. From these facts, I would infer that a Starfinder character can sleep in any sort of armor without penalty.

Page 150, Below the bold heading "Armor Check Penalty" there is are rules in the Armor section that explain the penalty for sleeping in armor for pathfinder. It's not just the feat that mentions these rules.
But not finding anything like that in Starfinder. Only comparable limitation is that Powered Armor does run out of energy rather quickly, so it would be challenging to stay in Powered Armor all the time.
