Resting is one of the abilities of a contestant. He/she attempts to lie down and get some rest, temporarily sleeping in an attempt of recovering from possible injuries.

It can be performed willingly, or is triggered by an event.

Causes

When performed willingly, the player will play a game of heads or tails. If he/she wins, the contestant will successfully manage to rest. Otherwise, he/she won't be able to catch the needed sleep.

NOTE: Whether the player wins or loses the game of heads or tails, he/she will enter a cooldown period in which he/she will not be able to retry doing certain abilities willingly, for 10 turns. For this specific ability, if the contestant has successfully rested, the cooldown period starts AFTER he/she has woken up.

If the contestant is not wearing a gas mask or a HEV helmet, and he/she enters the sleep gas trap room, the contestant will instantly fall flat on the ground and sleep.

Effects

Sleeping causes the contestant to be completely inactive for 12 turns straight.

Secondary effects and natural healing will occur as usual.
If the contestant is resting in a proper bed, such as one found in a bedroom, or a resting area, the resting period becomes 30 turns instead of 12 - plan accordingly.
The Inebriation rate will naturally decrease while sleeping, as it would usually by letting time pass.

Bad Ideas™

A contestant should NOT rest if afflicted with the following conditions:

Poisoned - the poison will creep in the contestant's systems and eventually kill him/her
Wounded - bleeding will continue while asleep...
Being in combat. While entirely possible, falling asleep in the middle of a fight tends to be fatal.
Being on low nutrition - nutrition keeps ticking down while asleep, and if the kcal counter is extremely low, or has reached zero, then the body will deteriorate while sleeping... which is also potentially fatal.
