Imo a day/night cycle that tracks 24 hour periods is needed. If you don't need to manage your sleep/exhaustion then you're not an adventuring party. Plus, a limited number of hours in the day adds a sense of false urgency and a plethora of additional story thread possibilities. Then you just make short rests take a legitimate 1 hour block of time and allow the party to throw them away at their leisure.
