Normally, if you returned to the foyer when they were tired, they'd automatically go back to the dorm.
But if you have them separate in a dungeon and they get into a fight with a shadow, you can go to the next floor and leave them behind, then when you return to the foyer they'll still be available (but tired).

I too didn't get to Tartarus enough, partially because my party members would be too tired or sick, and partially because I was frustrated I couldn't control them in battles.

Which meant I never beat Persona 3, sadly.

I genuinely hope this gets a stateside release as well, and in turn inspires Atlus to create Persona 4 Portable. (P4 is just so good, I'd buy it again so I could play it anywhere as well as at home.)
