Sims won't stay in bed/sleep

My sim energy need is in the red. Everytime I have them sleep or take a nap, they lay down then instantly get back up. I thought maybe it was an issue with the energy need staying red, but I had my Sim drink coffee and watched the energy bar go up some. The game recently updated to version 1.110.265.1030 DX11, and that is when it began. I have tried restarting the game, leaving the household and coming back, nothing is working.

There are several reasons for this. You can find some tips here: Sims won't sleep

This thread is if you have issues with any Sims, especially also single Sims

If you have this issue only for couple Sims where one gets up when the other goes to bed, please use this thread instead: Sims in Romantic Relationship Keep Getting Out of Bed (Patch 1.116.202) | EA Forums - 12315325

On a new save file created after the 12.2025 update, I encountered this bug yesterday with my teenager: I can't get her to sleep. She wakes up after a short time, whether it's to "sleep" or "nap," even though her energy is low. This is a bug I've never encountered before. I should mention that I play without mods or custom content, and I haven't done anything unusual with the teenager. She was supposed to go to sleep after returning from her extracurricular activity. The household lives in a residential rental (Rent Pack).

This started happening to me after the most recent patch as well, I turned off and reset all sims, beds, music speakers, pets, and anything else that could wake my sims up and they STILL keep waking up! They live on a residential rental too, idk if that has anything to do with it but I mentioned it because the other person below me did.

Hello, I'm having the same issue. My sim didn't do this prior to discovering the Romantic trait but now he does. He's sleeping alone and interrupts his sleep to think about his partner and doesn't go back to sleep.

I have this same issue (no CC or mods). Sometimes they get up right away after the sleep interaction, sometimes they sleep a longer period of time before getting up at 3 - 4 a.m.
