Here's a very simple mechanic that I think would address your concerns:

It takes 1 hour of "good sleep" to recover 1 point of fatigue (i.e., ST that was expended casting spells or otherwise lost due to fatigue). 8 hours of good sleep in a 9 hour period will allow the character to recover all fatigue.

Good sleep is defined as "uninterrupted sleep in a reasonably comfortable and secure environment." Examples would be sleep in an inn, or in a campsite that is guarded by your comrades, or even a jail (assuming that you trust whomever you share the cell with).

Sleeping in a dungeon would NOT usually qualify, as you're surrounded by hordes of foul monsters and all. Plus, dungeon plumbing is notoriously loud. And monsters ALL snore. Loudly.
