Sleeping going faster?
I sleep in game and the time seems to go very quick, I mean obviously but when I say quick I mean like 4 milliseconds, why? (I'm not new to the game, just a little confused why it's doing that) (Update if anyone cares sleeping goes faster if you uncap fps)

Are you getting a full amount of sleep when this happens?
Yeah, so I'll go to sleep around 11:00 PM, Wake up usually 6 or 7, I look at my digital watch and time is flying by as usual but way faster, maybe its a mod doing this it doesn't really bother me it just seemed odd
It's normal... When you're sleeping the game suspends a lot of the usual checks and drifts into simulation mode, accelerating time to as much as like 100x normal speed because it knows exactly where you are and you are incapable of manual interruption or input; So it doesnt have to worry about you doing things that would change it's simulation math. Really just depends on how good your CPU is how fast your sleep cycle will go.

Same for FFW in general; the base 2 arrow FF is 5x speed, 3 arrow is 20x speed, and the F6 'until task is complete' one is 40x, assuming your cpu can keep up with the simulation rate.
