I usually assume PCs did their mundane tasks that they should be used to, without needing the players to explicitly say so.

Unless the player says otherwise, they take the armor off to sleep (because the game poses a penalty if they sleep in armor) and they put it back again in the morning, in the same manner I'm assuming they drink water, stop to eat when they are traveling, and take care of their needs, without the players saying so.

That's just not the focus of the game

DM: "So you've all been traveling for several weeks, anything you want to add about what you've been doing on the way?"

Player: "Uh, I spot check?"

DM, sighs, "Okay, roll for it."

Player rolls an 18.

DM: "Along the way you notice the hidden chest and find a latrine shovel. Anything else you're doing?"

Insert 5 minute argument that it should just be a normal shovel and therefore it shouldn't be limited to just digging latrines.

DM: "Now that that's settled, you can add your normal shovel that isn't a latrine shovel but can still be used to dig latrines to your inventory and answer the question if there's anything else you did, or maybe dug and then filled with something other than the dirt you just dug from it before filling it with the dirt you dug from it?"

Player: "Oh, I know! I listen! Uh I rolled a 6 :("

DM: "You don't hear anything and you all die from burst bladders and ruptured colons!"

Insert 5 minute argument about which one, since it was unlikely that each of their bladders and colons burst simultaneously.

I think some players have used a mithril chain shirt as a sleep shirt, which i think is technically legal.
