The rest command does nothing for one turn. By default, it is mapped to the . key (dot/period/full stop). There is an option to rest when space is pressed, but this is not considered desirable.

Strategy

Game time continues to run while you rest, so be wary of holding the key down. You gain no extra benefits from resting; in particular, your hit points and power do not regenerate faster.

Because rest has no special effects, you should consider sitting or searching instead of resting.
