Sleep Increments?

[Undecided Name For Now]

Does your character sleep only in increments of hours or hours/minutes? I'm trying to go for the longest possible survival I can do.

Just hours , I find 4 hours at at time is sufficient to monitor any changes in the weather also if you sleep longer then 10 hours straight, thirst then become a issue , so don't sleep more then 10 hours MAX in separate increments.

[ThePlagueBeast]

You can safely sleep for 12 hours if you have full thirst and can drink immediately upon waking.

Sleep 12 hours indoors _only_. Never, ever sleep that long outdoors unless you're 100% sure of what you're doing.

Best to sleep in shorter intervals; your character doesn't have pros/cons to doing that; like in real life when taking short naps vs sleeping for 12 hours...

In game all you will do is increase chance of dying if you sleep 8, 10, 12 hours...

Better to do like 2 - 4 hours at time, to keep an eye on weather, since its better to not go outside during high wind / blizzard like conditions... also so you can help ensure you stay on the cycle you want as far as night or day goes; depending on what you want to do and when.

What I also try to do is go without food as much as possible, Drink, yea sure top that off as needed, especially after sprinting, or before sleeping. I try to only eat what I need before sleeping. Unless your actual Health % is dropping due to hunger, its not an issue to starve yourself a bit. It only helps you, if done right.

I haven't played long enough to find a reason to sleep outdoors like that.
Like, what reason? There are beds everywhere
I don't do sprinting at all, being on Pilgrim.

Sleeping outside anywhere is a death sentence anyways.

The harder levels like Stalker, Interloper have Cabin fever which will hit you if you spend too much time inside. Pilgrim it is turned off.

7-8 hours will drain your hydration stat to empty when its full.

you can easily sleep 12 hours with apprioate calories and only lose a couple milimeters of condition.

There is a drawback if you sleep to restore condition. The condition you get back per hour increases the longer you sleep.

Also, If condition restoration is important, drink the herbal tea before sleeping. As SteveS says, the longer you sleep the greater the condition restoration.

I'm tempted to starve myself to near 10% before eating to maximise my time around.

If on Pilgrim, unless I really ♥♥♥♥ up a bear hunt, I'll be good. Or exploring new territory and walk off the side of a cliff or something.

I sleep only at one hour intervals outside cause the weather changes all the time. Also helps battle cabin fever.

[Shredder]

I love sleeping 2 hours at a time, 3-4 times a day drinking six cups of coffee. Not quite the reality of true Canadians though. Where's the poutine in a can ffs?

I tend to do short naps in storms if tired or if its nighttime (though, now I keep my brightness maxed because using my lantern just to look around when its barely dark out sucks), sleep until rested if its early enough.
6,8,9 or 12 hours are what I try for.
