sleep or not?

Amazing how short the daylight lasts!! It feels like its almost always night.. Even going to sleep its still night when you wake. I have been sleeping at night but i think this is a mistake and waste of time.

Do you sleep every night? Just doing some home improvements or crafting seems to rest me just the same..

i'm already at day 70 and so little achieved. I am wondering if I need to restart as I have slept every night and lost progress.

Daylight is from 6am to 6pm, while night is from 6pm to 6am. Time progresses faster at night, meaning daylight is longer. Sleeping makes you rest until a few seconds before daylight.

I sleep if I need the sunlight for better visibility while exploring, fewer enemies, or to advance time on things like smelting ingots or growing crops.

No need to restart. The number of days passed means absolutely nothing.

To give more detail, day in Valheim is 21 minutes long. Night is 9 minutes long. Sleeping at night is a good idea especially if you have some comfort items around your bed. The rested bonus you get is a powerful buff and night time spawns are usually double and more powerful enemies spawn at night. Some creatures ONLY spawn at night.

Sleep at night = good
Worry about # of days = useless
Having fun in Valheim > all

Only sleep at night if you feel weak for your current location. Night is the best hunting time. If its is too hard for you sleep. If you want to fight alot and get tons of resources do not sleep or hide in base during the night. Sleeping at night gives the same buff as being 30 seconds in your "comfort" zone so no need to sleep for your rested buff.

It's quite the opposite. Utilizing sleep is one of the best ways to reduce time spent in the drudgery of the game.

Time passes the same at night as it does in the day, so you can load up all your refiners, etc just before sleeping, and they'll be done in seconds. Plants are also time gated in days, so shortening the day reduces time in the farm.

You (or at least I) can spend quite a bit of time waiting on the weather, which changes every day, so shortening the time that you have to wait on a storm or fog is very beneficial.

"Night" also technically starts at 2 in the afternoon, in that you can go to bed at 2, which is a huge benefit when you're refining a bunch of mats, or waiting on some new plant to multiply.

On my first playthrough I slept every night but once I got my ears wet it was better to just keep hustling.

One thing to keep in mind though in the beginning is the cold effects you so a fight you may win during the day with little risk may be a gamble at night.

To be quite frank, this response could go on a lot of the threads about this game, lol.
