Staying up late

[Gray]

How come when I stay up past midnight, the time turns red?

[Fawlow]

to give you anxiety like "o no i have to run back home"

You pass out after 2am the punishment is you wake up with half energy and you lose like 500g outside your farm.

Oh rip, I was night time fishing and passed out right as i caught a super cucumber

I will add that past midnight, the amount of energy you wake up with the next day diminishes, down to a maximum of ~50% energy right before 2:00 AM. This is what I've always assumed the red numbers were signifying.

Midnight is a warning. 1 am you have 25% less energy. 2 am you pass out and have 50% less energy. If you pass out in the mines it costs big $$ too.

Yes, and I've found it's not for sure that you'll get the energy ding. Sometimes I wake up to find I've 'gotten away with it' and have full energy.

I don't think it's an immediate thing...? I feel like if I go to bed before 1am, I'm fine. But after 1am, the longer I stay up, the less energy my character gets back from sleeping... but I haven't tested this, or really researched it.

But also remember that the amount of energy you had before sleeping is factored in. If you spent all day walking around talking to villagers and not using any energy, you're not gonna LOSE energy by sleeping, even if it's a shorter rest. But if you stayed up that extra hour to chop down as many trees as you could and go to bed at 1:40am with only like 5 stamina, you're almost definitely gonna be missing a biiig chunk the next morning.

If you level up during one of your late nights you will get your energy back. Also it is $1000 gold you lose. IF you manage to get in your house you won't lose gold. Your shed does NOT count as your house by the way.

Actually, it's not always 1,000 gold. It's a percentage of your current gold (I think 10%?), up to a max of 1,000, I believe.
