Restless Sleeper + Sleepyhead Trait combo is figuratively game breaking

[Nezz]

This is a cautionary tale. My girlfriend is playing PZ right now. She picked restless sleeper and sleepy head.

Using the map here: http://pzmap.crash-override.net/, her house is at 10860 x 10245. She wakes up from a full sleep, goes to 10895 x 10260, forages once or twice and has to go back to the house and sleep for 10+ hours. The longest I've seen her sleep for is 18 hours and the longest I've seen her be awake in game time is 40 minutes. She can travel about 2 blocks walking before needing sleep. If she has to attack a zombie, she's drowsy after #1.

The combo is only worth 10 points and it's effectively game-breaking. Meanwhile, Deaf is not game breaking, just challenging, and worth 12.

Edit: Corrected a typo.

This is hillarious and should be left as is.

What is her profession in game? I am using the army one with desensitize and having no issues.
might be something based off of over all stats.

She picked construction worker for her career.

I picked restless sleeper on my last character, and it's quite annoying I have to say, so I can't imagine with sleepy head too.

Plus, there's some issue with how many time you sleep. For example, If my character is really tired, I can only sleep for up to 10 hours (and can't make him sleep longer). Trouble is, if my sleeping time ends just after I lost the Drowsy moodle, I can go back to being drowsy less than 1 hour after waking :(
Last time, I slept for 9 hours, got up to get something to eat, and got drowsy again. T_T
Vitamins help a little to stay awake, but I'm litteraly sleeping all the time.

I've tried this and it is manageable. Either walk out and fight/run on the way back if you know you are heading for a dangerous spot, or just live with max tiredness. Unlike the tooltip sugestion you will never fall unconsious, you just appear to suffer a hefty strength (and fitness?) penalty (I.e. reduced run speed, less damage/knockdown in combat). The pentalty is manageable as long as you do not also get exausted (i.e. either rest or sleep for 1 hour whenever you are heading that way), you can still just out-walk zombies with both penalties, but even a pair of zombies can be dangerous as you can't manage to knock them down.

Deafness though generally less difficult in general tends to have danger spikes that can just kill you (i.e. zombie that walks up behind you unseen and infects you while opening a window, or setting of an alarm you cant hear while entering a house and the first you know of it is finding a dozen zombies on every door and window)

I tried Deaf and HATED it. I couldn't hear the telltale "splat" to know when zombies were fully dead. Not hearing a house alarm would be a serious issue too!

For the negative Restless Sleeper (-6) trait, what about pairing it with the positive trait Wakeful (+2) so your character doesn't need as much sleep? You still get a net gain of 4 points to spend. I haven't tried it, but I have to assume using sleeping pills will counteract Restless Sleeper as well? I always have heaps of them stashed in my medical cabinet.

Restless sleeper sucks, thought it was easy points until i realized I had to sleep a minimum of 12 hours to get unsleepy. Otherwise you are tired after a couple hours again:( Deaf is actually doable for me, but really freaking boring. That's why I don't use it. Takes away a large part of the game not hearing anything, makes the game even more solitary than it already is which sucks:(

^ Being a restless sleeper and and a sleepy head in real life I can agree with this. I go to work tired all the time but I don't pass out! Sure it's a bit tough dealing with you know...the driving and lack of focus but once I get home I still have time to eat and play video games before I fully pass out. I'm sure you can scavange a bit before you take that twelve hour nap (but just for the record, you don't HAVE to sleep the entire amount of time, it'll still bring down your sleepiness if you sleep for 6-8 hours).

But it won't bring it down all the way. The moodle will dissapear sure, but after a few hours it will come back. If you sleep, then select sleep again, your character will sleep for a nother 6-8 hours even though they just slept for 8 hours. In fact youhave to do a third time in order to get fully rested, the point where it says you can't sleep anymore because your character isn't sleepy enough. So you have to sleep for 20-24 hours to get fully rested. Not worth it imo.

It's a negative trait. Taking it is supposed to be an inconvenience. Otherwise it'd just be free points.
