Do you fill the Sim's energy need all the way up in the morning, or are your Sims sleep-deprived? What I'm wondering is how many hours do your Sims get rest! This poll is if your Sims sleep on a bed with an Energy Gain of 4! So, let's get started!

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.

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.

How many hours do you Sims sleep?

For the most part they get to sleep until the bar is full

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

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.

My sims' needs are static, especially for storytelling purposes and if they go to one of those World Adventures worlds (in case they explore a tomb).

I let them sleep for a few hours, then drag their sleep motive up via testingcheats. There's so much more my sims could be doing instead of sleeping so I feel like it's justified.

I usually have them sleep until their energy is completely full unless I forget to send them to bed before they have to get up for work.

My sims sleep fully until they're rested, but the first thing I ALWAYS invest in are the highest quality beds so their full night's sleep is pretty short!

I always try to have my sims have almost full energy for the day...if not, they are really cranky. If the bar dips below half, especially in University...I try to have my sims take a nap in between classes or at least use the cappuccino machine. Once my sim has full logic and has learned all of the elixirs...they make a lot of sleeping elixir!

I usually play with 2 adults and like 4-5 kids 2-3 of which be tots, so they will uhm, go a few days without sleeping, then they sleep for the whole day. I also often forget to buy a coffee pot, and I proceed to wonder why my sims are so unhappy.
