I didn't discover that merely Waiting would restore your health until after several harrowing hours of playing the game. The manual says it, but one of the tips that pops up says you should sleep to recover your health and to find a bed someplace. The game lied to me because it's evil. I read the tip before I read the manual so I spent a LOT of time desperately looking for a bedroll someplace when I was well and truly injured. Then I started noticing that sometimes my health would be recovered even though I hadn't slept. I couldn't figure it out for awhile--I didn't happen to notice it after Waiting. Then it finally dawned on me.
Now I've spent so much time looking for a place to sleep when I was injured that simply Waiting an hour any old place really really feels like cheating and I kind of feel cheap whenever I do it. My health potions are practically untouched.
