Build 42 Multiplayer Sleep Bug
Playing a 4 man campaign to test out the the new Build 42 MP but we all keep having the same issue when we go to sleep. One by one, we will each automatically wake up after 2-4 hours of sleep no matter what we do. There are no watches with alarms nearby (we cleared the block), no zombies nearby (we are not waking up from panic/fear or nightmares) but this occurs every single night we try to sleep. Is this a known issue or are we missing smthn in the settings that could be limiting how long we are able to sleep?

yea this happens to us too, ended up just turning off the sleeping need
If you still want sleeping in your world, there are mods that speed up the process so it's done in less than an ingame hour. It still gives you the sleeping need (which I find is essential to the game's difficulty otherwise you're a nomadic god) while not requiring you to spend 8+ in game hours wrangling with the bugs of sleeping in multiplayer.

I'll post the mod when I find it.

Edit: I don't think it works anymore. Sorry.
