Sleeping length
No matter how much the character is tired - little or very tired, barely able to walk, they will always sleep 16 hours.

Sleeping needs to be modified - not tired, very little tired sleep 8 hours
The more tired you are the longer you sleep. You won't sleep every day 16 hours.

Please, fix? Pretty please?

You don't need to sleep the full length. If you press either W, A, S or D you can wake your character up. This does have a draw back where your character can get tired sooner rather than later so it's important to manage your sleep schedule well

I know you can do that. No one would sleep 16 hours willingly. Person would usually wake up after in between 6-10 hours. You would only push yourself to sleep longer, if you were really tired day before, had headache or low/high pressure.

Body will usually auto-regulate when it is supposed to wake up, therefore its "stupid" to have character always wake up after 16 hours.

I do agree tough, if you sleep longer in game you should be tired sooner, but the default value for sleep should NOT be 16 hours.

I agree 16hrs is a lot. Wakeful trait helps but imo it should be at most 10 hours where the wakeful trait reduces it to 8 or 7

can also set alarms on a digital watch to wake up at a specific time. That being said i always try to get my character in bed around 8-10ish and they wake up around 5-6am consistantly without an alarm

Could it be that maybe your game is bugged somehow. Possibly by mods? Just a guess, i'm not pointing fingers here

Other than that, If sleeping is an issue then you should try the "Wakeful" positive trait for -2 points. With that trait running my guy (even at max tiredness) barely sleeps for more than 7-8 hrs at a time.

Might be useful for you if you find sleeping for long periods annoying just in general.

Good luck with this

Game may be bugged, server has no mods. Its pure vanilla. "Wakeful" trait is nice, but I would much rather use those points for Cat Eyes as I find it more helpful.

I agree with you. @Devs, can it be done like RAM suggested?
10 hour sleep
- hours if you have "wakeful" trait
+ hours if you are more tired
+ hours if you are sad/depressed

If the normal sleeping time is 8 hours, make it the default value without the traits.
Wakeful trait should give the same amount of rest in less time, maybe 6 hours.
the sleepy head should give the same amount of rest but in 10 or 12hours.

Merge the Sleepy head with the Restless sleeper, having both traits is just confusing for the same idea of having to sleep more, while there is only one positive trait about sleep.

you have to have an alarm for wakeful too, right? just sucks to have those sprinkles on top

I could see if you were injured too, that would require more sleep. 16 imo is way too long as well, it's double what most people would actually do in a typical day.

yeah, when you think about it, it's quite odd... nobody on earth naturally sleeps 16 hours. maybe 12, but that's subjective... 16 though... huh?
