Chi Power Limitation: Rituals = Missed Sleep?

[Pseudonym]

So, something that kinda bugs me: it says that someone with Chi Mastery is going to spend the time for rituals by missing sleep. It's just a fact that the time for their daily rituals comes out of sleep the way the rules are written. Unless I misunderstand, it sounds like succumbing to exhaustion from sleep deprivation is inevitable, if not immediately, then in some days.

I believe my interpretation might be over-literal (and it precludes someone who might have bought enough levels of less sleep or the no sleep advantage that they *can't* miss enough sleep,) but I wanted to do a sanity check. Is it fair to allow a martial artist to sleep a full night then do his rituals in the morning? Is it fair to let her do her rituals on the move if you have something like a cart she can ride in while praying? Is the inevitable cyclic crashes intentional? Is it fair to let someone buy less sleep to offset this missed sleep penalty, and expect that the rituals will use up the extra slack from extra waking hours first before cutting into sleep time? Is it expected that a martial artist is trying to catch naps whenever he can to recover sleep deprivation fatigue?
