Well, in cases where you're not attacked by wolves in the middle of the night. Or orcs. Or bandits. Or pirates. Or ghouls. Or giant vampire bats. Or lions. Or tigers. Or bears. Oh my.
In other words, don't ever skip over sleep when roleplaying.

Adam: Whew. Glad we didn't have to roleplay eight hours of sleep.

C-3PO: You know why you're not allowed out at night? The Sand People.
Adam: People made of sand?

C-3PO: They roam the desert at night, but by day they lurk in rocky canyons. Like this one!
Adam: This is where the tracks lead.
C-3PO: Don't worry, I can negotiate with them.

Adam: And what do you know about paranoid nutcases?
C-3PO: I was built by one!
