I swear I'm missing something I can't seem to be able to build one

Yeah, that part can use some explanation. There are leafy fern plant things. Put 4 of those in a single pile, and you get the ability to make a sleeping spot.

place several leaves of a single kind found in your base in a pile over and over until the construction option appears and it will make a bed appear where you are standing

If you are a baby you messed up in the beginning. You have to hide as the baby and then find it as an adult. If you went to your family as baby you will stay like that and can't build anything.

Nah, just walk up to one of the adults, inspect it and then switch. You can switch between all members of the tribe.

such bad advice.

Good advice then. To build a sleeping spot, you need to be an adult;
From starting auto switches if you put child in hiding spot, otherwise in camp go to adult, click analyse then switch. You need 4 pieces of the correct plant to build a sleeping spot. Grab them one at a time, go to the flowers under bridge, drop one, then each other one you target the first and add to pile. Then hold construct button on said pile to build it.

I got stuck on building a sleeping spot and, after a few hours, decided to restart the game. That really helped because I was more conscious of the objective and completed some that I had missed the first time around so when it came to the objective to build a sleep spot, I was able to do it. Also, I found that you have to hold the button down to complete certain tasks, if you just hit it once the task may not complete. I feel that this time around I have a much better grasp of how to move forward..

Keep in mind that heading back to the clan as a baby was a feature added *after* launch (a year ago on Epic).

For the 100 or so hours I (and many others) put into the game at launch, it was not a option. You *had* to hide.
