I think the point is that... I can't remember exactly where I read it, but I feel like it is in How To Be A GM, and maybe Dungeon Fantasy 2, For whatever hand-wavy reason, staked watches aren't considered to lose sleep.

Keeping on topic of Rituals then, what do people do with the -5 point version? I had a cleric in a campaign just recently where I got to play instead of GM for the first time; there was no mechanical explanation of it, so I just decided to make a big deal of praying at meals, before going to bed, when waking up, and explicitly performing funerary rites for downed enemies, even if time was precious... though the last one sounds almost like a specially mutated and refluffed version of trademark (always performs a polite ceremony accessibility: only in fatal interactions) I roleplayed as an old guy on the verge of retirement, so in character my guy would boss around the big strong and 80-year young dwarf barbarian (we decided to give dwarves super huge lifespans for no apparently important reason as setting background, so 80 years was approximately the maturity of young adult) and he'd resent me back when I told him to do the digging; I'm too old for that.
"You're thirty years younger than me!"
