How many hours do you Sims sleep?

I always ensure they sleep enough until their Energy is full, but my Sim and his wife have maxed out Handiness, so I make them upgrade the beds to give more Energy in much less time. So for them, a full night of sleep is around 3-4 in-game hours.

unless ghosties are keeping them awake making sleeping during night impossible or they have unfortunately ended up in Olive Specters basement or probably both

sometimes they get naps at random times too to make my playing easier

That depends when my sims go to bed. If they go to bed early enough, they will sleep until their bar is full. If they stay up late, they will sleep until they have to wake up to go to work or school.

I prefer my sims to get their bar filled up, but as I also leave them on full autonomy as much as possible it's kind of also up to them how much sleep they get...

I used to try to let them get "natural" sleep, but since I just take pictures nowadays, I cheat an awful lot ;)

I usually start with homeless Sims, sometimes a large family. They buy an empty lot and then I cheat away any remaining funds. They sleep/shower at the pool or elsewhere and eat out all the time. Because income is limited at the start, it takes a while to get the money but I wait til I can afford good beds to place on the empty lot. From then on, they generally get a good nights sleep. At least I don't have 'Seasons', so they don't get rained/snowed on.

I mean kinda like a person, if I put my sim to bed earlier their energy bar will be closer to full but if I have them stay up to 3am finishing something but they have work the next day the bar will be barely full. I do try to keep it full though, my sims to tend to have a better sleep schedule then myself lol.

I will definitely be willing to give my sims a little energy boost using cheats so that they can get their Well Rested moodlets, and still get where I need them to be, on time. :smile:

In TS3, I use the mailbox to keep all needs full because I don't cook in TS3 because the fire danger is worse!

In TS4, my Sims fill all their needs in game/rewards traits that they've earned.

I suppose I average 90%, but ultimately, I get my sims to bed as close to reasonable as possible and then they must wake up in time for school or work. If they are too tired, then the whole day can become a mess.
