Trauma Inn/Playing With

Basic Trope: Sleep, or some other mundane action, can heal any wounds.
 * Straight: Alice and Bob get severely injured in combat, but are as good as new after a good night's rest.
 * Exaggerated: Despite Alice losing a limb and Bob getting shot so much he looks like Swiss cheese, they are fully restored after taking a nap.
 * Downplayed: Certain severe injuries are not treated by sleeping.
 * Justified: The characters are aliens that regenerate in their sleep.
 * Inverted: Sleeping causes you to take damage.
 * Subverted: ???
 * Double Subverted: ???
 * Parodied: Bob is turned into a pile of mush, but is back to normal after having whatever's left of him placed in a bed.
 * Zig Zagged: ???
 * Averted: The game's Trauma Inn takes the form of a hospital, and certain kinds of injuries can not be healed.
 * Enforced: ???
 * Lampshaded: ???
 * Invoked: ???
 * Exploited: ???
 * Defied: ???
 * Discussed: "Hmm... you guys looked in much worse shape last night."
 * Conversed: "How come sleeping at an inn cures poison, paralysis and revives dead characters?"
 * Deconstructed: The player gets stuck in the middle of a high-level dungeon due to being over-confident that they can just go back to an inn if they get hurt. Their game becomes Unwinnable because the characters get stuck between powerful enemies and are too injured to fight them.
 * Reconstructed: They bring an item or spell which can teleport them out of a dungeon and back to town.
