In hardcoe mode: Sleeping doesn't restore health or limb condition but Hydra does. Also, the Well Rested bonus can only be attained by sleeping in owned or rented beds.
It dose to me if your character has a owned bed. My character has two owned beds. In Novac and at Garret's if you go quest for them. If you sleep more then eight hours on those owned beds you get healed. The bed you don't own you don't get healed in hardcoe.
edit:Doctors bag will heal your limbs including your characters melon. If you go into stats, player you see the outline of you character all you have to do is to press 'e' which is the doctor bag on the crippled limb and it will heal most of it. That depends on your Medicinal skill.
