We really should be able to do all-nighters...

I remember back from the previous harvest moon games, it is very possible to do an all-nighter without collapsing right at your doorstep as you rushed into bed.

Usually this came with some sort of "sleepy" penalty, or just doesn't replenish your stamina since you never went to bed. It'd be nice if this was changed to that, or to give us some way to pull an all-nighter, like a caffeine rush or something.

I think this would just make the game too easy. There aren't too many challenges anyway (apart from fishing) and short days add that extra difficulty.

Oh, really, I don't remeber being able to stay awake past five pm in most, at which time you would faint from lack of sleep

Here energy is super, super easy to refill and cheaply. You can fully restore your hp for nothing with the right perks and cooking recipies. So you could stay up indefinitely and not hurt your bottom line at all.

A stamina penalty in harvestmoon is a lot more harsh than here because here sprinklers can do the majority of the work. And since we have things like the skull dungeon where the rewards increase the deeper you go. Not only that swords use no stamina so the penalty wouldn't affect combat at all.

To balance never needing to sleep, food would need to take a huge Energy nerf.

I think the fact that you can only save by sleeping already acts as a pretty good balance here, if you stay up all night you'd have to either waste the entire next day sleeping in order to save or risk losing all the progress you made.
