Subject: Sleeping in armor

Here's another problem I was having in my game and how I handled it...

My players were the kind that got to where they'd insist they were
always sleeping in there armor, gun on the nightstand near-by, always
ready for the suprise attack and so on...

I finally ended up ruling that sleeping in armor (heavy balistic plates,
unforgiving boady-armor, etc.) would be too damn uncomfortable, except
for maybe the toughest street sam.

The rules I apply are this:

Trying to sleep/rest in armor requires a BOD test at the ballistic
rating of armor worn. The threshold for the test is 8-WILL. If the test
doesn't succeed , the character wakes with a light stun. T#'s for
sleeping off stun while wearing armor are increased by 1/2 the ballistic
rating (rounded up).

Anyways, that's the basics of it. Other ideas?
