This isn't really a feat, but there are no options for writing homebrew rules so here it is.
Instead of just exhaustion, there are now two different status effects, exhaustion and tired.
When you spend more than 24 hours without taking a long rest, get revived from zero hit points, or any other means, you become tired. Tired means that you have a -1 to all intelligence, dexterity, charisma, and wisdom checks. It also works as a buffer to keep you from getting points of exhaustion, you cannot get any points of exhaustion unless you are already tired. If you were going to become tired, but already have the condition, you instead get a point of exhaustion. While in combat, adrenalin lets you ignore the effects of the tired condition and getting over a 20 initiative means you can resist the effects of one point of exhaustion. Being revived during combat doesn't give you a point of exhaustion until after the fight ends, and if you reach five points this way, you instead drop to zero and start rolling death saves instead of just instant death (if stabilized, you still can't wake up for the next 8 hours and go back to four points).
At one point: You have a minus one to all attack rolls and saving throws (stacks with tired debuff)
At two points: You have disadvantage on all rolls using mental stats, (intelligence, wisdom, or charisma)
At three points: You have disadvantage on all rolls using the physical stats, (constitution, dexterity, and strengths) and on all attack rolls
At four points: Once you reach four points, you roll a DC 25 constitution or wisdom saving throw. If you succeed, your mind starts to fog over and you ignore pain, taking only half damage during combat (at the end of any combat you take all of the damage you would have in the fight by doubling the damage you took). If you fail, you instead take double damage as your body starts to fail. Either way, you deal only half damage with any melee attack.
At five points: Death
When you take a long rest, you lose one point of exhaustion and are no longer tired.
