rested shows up as an icon in the upper right with a timer. While rested you gain xp faster and regain stamina and health faster. So it is best to keep a rested bonus going.

All you need for a basic rested of eight mins is a campfire and sit next to it. Takes about 45seconds to kick in. X to sit.

FYI being wet or cold will slow stamina gain and make you an easier target.

Wait, rested gives faster XP? I never heard that, is this something new?
