Sleep?

[Undecided Name For Now]

How much sleep from red to full?
I'm on Pilgrim.
How many hours, I'm on a bed in Camp Office.
I'd wager the amount you need to sleep when it's a bed or a bedroll is different, so I'd like to know that too.

It also depends on difficulty, if you're fatigued, hungry, hydrated, ill.

I just want to know the standard.
I'm not ill, hungry and I am hydrated. Fatigued? Sure. I'm talking about going from completely in the red to maxed sleep. I already stated I'm on Pilgrim.

12 hours

In general, if you are tired, you can expect to sleep for up to 8 hours. If you are drained, you can expect to sleep for 9 hours or so. If you are really drained (i.e. red drained) you can expect to sleep for up to 10 hours or so. If exhausted (meter is red, losing condition), you can sleep for the maximum 12 hours and not be fully rested when you wake up.

I tend to set the alarm clock for those numbers plus 1 hour depending on whether I am tired or drained or red drained. Times are approximate but I got these equivalences when the elapsed time meter still read in days, hours and minutes. They seem to work reasonably well and I don't sweat the precision anymore since the removal of the clock makes everything rather approximate.

Keep an eye on how it works and adjust your expectations accordingly.

BTW, I am also in Pilgrim.

It's a bit hard to judge just how long you have to sleep sometimes. But the game wakes you up anyways when you're fully rested.

Twelve hours. I figure that when I'm red bar in sleep, I drink untill I'm 100% full of water and then rest twelve hours. you weak up dehydrated, but from my guesses, it's for only about a half game hour. so it really dosen't take that much condition if any.

I also usually try to have over 600 or 700 calories before sleeping that long.

Except for Interloper you don't lose condition when sleeping 12 hours. In fact you gain 12% for hour 11 and 13% for hour 12 (1% less in a bedroll)

I kinda forgot that it wakes you up.
I think I was looking for how much % you gain when sleeping.

Are you talking about condition gain? Well that depends on which experience mode you're playing, what you're sleeping in, and how long you sleep. Condition recovery accelerates the longer you sleep in a stretch, so sleeping 12 hours in 1 hour increments will restore a LOT less than sleeping the full 12 hours in one go.

You will recover more condition in a bed or bearskin bedroll than you will in a regular bedroll. All experiences recover the same amount, except Interloper, which caps at 32% if you sleep for 10 hours. After 11 or 12 hours, you actually lose condition due to thirst. In any other experience mode, you can sleep a full 12 hours to recover up to 90% condition. If you have herbal tea, you can drink it to recover additional health per hour of sleep, up to 6 hours. So while there's no advantage to drinking it if you plan to sleep a full 12 hours, if you can only afford a short catnap, it can give you that extra little boost.

Yeah, my bad. It was about condition.
Good to know the tea works for 6 hours bursts though.

Don't sleep too long so you get thirsty or you will undo the good of the sleep

Not true. drink untill you're full and sleep for twelve hours. you will wake up with just barely a little dehydration and no less condition than if you weren't dehydrated.

[Undecided Name For Now]

I always drink until I'm full. I tend to stockpile wood inside near a fire and make excess water just for the heck of it.

Actually on Interloper this is the case. On the 11th and 12th hour you lose condition from thirst, so there is no advantage to sleeping longer than 10 hours at a stretch.

hmm, intresting. I didn't know your stats went down faster in interloper.
