An (albeit somewhat silly) example of this that springs to mind from Batman: The Brave and the Bold, when Martian Manhunter and the other Justice League heroes force Batman to rest after he broke his leg. Another example I can think of is in Kids Next Door in that one episode where the KND kinda force Numbuh One to get some sleep and all do their best not to make too much noise and wake him up. The examples I listed were all kinda silly but this can show up in more serious works too. Is there a trope for this? When a character is forced to take a break even though they desperately want to keep working/fighting/whatever? And what would you call characters with such self-destructive tendencies? And help would be much appreciated!
