Sleep Overhaul

7 days to die sleep overhaul

Description

Fully working with game version V2.+

Sleep adds a clean, lore-friendly rest system to 7 Days to Die.

Press X on any bedroll to open the Sleep Menu, where you can choose to rest for 1–8 in-game hours. Confirm your choice and you’ll see a short cinematic blackout. The world advances by the number of hours you selected, and you wake up refreshed with the Well Rested buff, giving you a temporary stamina boost..

How it works:

Trigger: Aim at your bedroll and press X → open the Sleep Menu and choose 1–8 hrs of rest.

Cinematic: ~3.3s fade-to-black (“Sleeping…”) to simulate nodding off.

Time skip: World time advances by the number of hours you selected.

Buff: You receive Well Rested for 30 real-time minutes (faster stamina regen, reduced stamina drain, and a small max-stamina bonus).

Conditions & Limits

Sleep window: Only between 20:00 and 02:00 (in-game).
Blood Moon: Disabled on horde nights (you’ll get a warning).
Where: Bedrolls only (player-placed sleeping bag or bedroll variants).

Quality-of-life

pressing X on a bedroll opens the Sleep Menu where you choose 1–8 hrs of rest..

On-screen warnings are localized (keys provided).
No changes to loot, POIs, or progression; safe to add mid-save.

Multiplayer & Compatibility

Designed for single-player (not tested on multiplayer / server).
UI-light and generally compatible; conflicts are unlikely unless another mod edits bedroll activation or the radial for bedrolls.

Enjoy a simple, balanced way to pass dangerous nights and hit dawn well rested without breaking the survival loop.

I have this installed on the client as well as the dedicated server. I know it says not tested on a server, but I wanted to report. When I sleep, I get the black screen that I am sleeping. When I wake up the time is 8 hours later, but then it quickly reverts back to the time it was before I slept.

When you wake up anything that was crafting will be all done no matter how long. Load up everything and go to sleep!

Does this mod work with player-placed beds, or just bedrolls?

Does this mod have a negative affect on food & water during the 8 hours of sleep? If not could you add it?

+1. There’s no cost but huge benefits. Would be nice to have a more balanced version.
