Rest in Moria
Man of Westernesse

Kevin, yes in the Book there are a number of rest periods in the journey thru Moria, including breaks to sleep. This section was hurried, as was much else, in the movie. They also changed some fundamentals, like all those bodies/skeletons at the west gate (Orcs , Dwarves , both?). These were not there in the book. The bodies were all in/near the chamber of Mazerbul where the Dwarves last stand against the Orcs took place.
