Why not have people sleep to regain HP and PE faster, and meditate (a state with the same or less restrictions) to regain ME faster?

When I picture an enchanter enchanting a weapon, I don't picture him sleeping 16 hours a day. I picture him meditating.

I picture a priest healing wounded soldiers in a battlefield camp, I picture the priest praying (meditating) a lot, not sleeping a lot.

But, maybe this is another of my patented worthless, aesthetic ideas. Call me shallow.

Actually, I like this...a lot. It may be purely aesthetic, but it would be truer to form. Of course, they'd still need to sleep for health/movement, but I could see meditating for mana.

Yeah, because everyone wants to sleep for HP and PE then wake up and meditate for ME, taking 2 times longer to regen.

It'd just be cooler if mana wasn't a pool you spent, but a flow of energy you invested. Completely stream-based, no battery, no upkeep. You know, like incarnum.

Grep makes people think to much :( .. Half the things he posts I don't even get through all the way before my brain quits seeing anything but blah blah blah.

I think this idea would be great as long as nothing was changed to what sleeping does in the game. This has been brought up before and shot down, though, so I don't think it will happen.
