Bed Energy

I haven't actually measured the time, but yes, I think there is a difference. When I've managed to afford 10 energy beds, the sleep cycle seems to go so, so fast. A couple sim hours will have them rested enough to get back to dong stuff. But, that being said, 8 is still really good, so I wouldn't stress it if that's what's affordable for your sims right now :)

It’s been so long since I’ve thought about beds and their energy bonuses. I use a mod that equalizes them all.

There's definitely a difference, though I tend to stick with the 8 beds because the 10's have my sims sleep too fast for my liking.

Lol, so there is a difference :D 8 so far is starting to fast, so chances are I won’t be upgrading to a 10, right now they only sleep about 4-5 hours, can only imagine with the 10 :D

It's not a huge difference, I think - I'll use any bed for my teens and adults that has an 8 or better. However, all my Sims get the 'seldom weary' trait as soon as they have enough points (usually when the kids complete three of the four aspirations). I put all my teens and adults to bed at 1:45 and whether they have an 8 or a 10 bed, they are ready to get up at 5:00. (I like to have them sleep a bit - I don't like the 'never weary' trait - but I'd rather have them awake and doing things. Watching them sleep is rather boring.)

Something I miss from Sims 3 - the dreams kids and teens could have at night. I'd love to see that come back.

It seems to be a pretty big difference between the lowest end and the beds with 10 energy, like a savings of a few hours less sleep per day. I tend to send my sims to bed by midnight and have them wake up around 6 am regardless of actual need (and use a mod so they don't wake up even if energy is full), so for me any bed higher than around 4 is good enough.

I've never actually timed it or anything, but my recollection is that a bed with energy of 4 results in sims that need around 8 hours of sleep in a sim day, while a bed with 10 it is somewhere between 3 and 4.

Yeah, I use a mod to make all beds same energy and comfort, because I like to use beds that match the decor, not judt the ones that are expensive.

Holy shit! I need this bed in real life!

I like that the 10 energy makes my sims fully rested quickly so that they can do other things.

There is surely a difference. They sleep faster with a 10 bed. I never measured the difference to see just how fast though!
