== Description =='''Sleep bonus''' (SB) provides a period of increased [[skill]], [[characteristic]], and [[stamina]] gain. This is a way to help [[player]]s who can not play for many hours each day, without hindering players who can stay logged on for a long time. == Usage ==Sleep bonus is gained through the use of a [[bed]] or [[bedroll]].To gain with use of a bed: log out by right-clicking a vacant bed inside a completed house and select 'Bed' > 'Sleep'. A player receives 1 minute of sleep bonus for every 24 minutes of sleep, with a maximum of 5 hours of stored sleep bonus. Minimum time to stay asleep is 1 hour. All times are in real-life time, not [[Wurm time]].A [[canopy bed]] works like bed, a [[straw bed]] gives only 75% of gain. A [[bedroll]] has to be used near a tent and provides 75% of the gain (the [[festive bedroll]] gives 100%). You can freeze and resume the consumption of sleep bonus with the command '/fsleep'. The action of activating sleep bonus is on a 5 minutes cooldown.You can use the '/sleep' command or press F5 to see your current remaining sleep bonus and whether it is frozen or not. ==Benefits===

* 2x skill /stat gain* 1 minute of sleep bonus for every 24 minutes your character sleeps

<th>Hours of sleep</th><th>Bonus time (, in minutes)</th>

<tr><td>120 (five days)</td><td>5 hours max</td></tr><tr><td>168 (1 week)</td><td>5 hours max</td></tr><tr><td>336 (2 weeks)</td><td>5 hours max= the maximum</td></tr>

===Notes===* Maximum Sometimes skill gain is so small that you won't be sure sleep bonus is attained at 120 hours of sleep, it will working or not . Set "Skillgain tab updates" to "Per 0.001 increase beyond 5 hours" in Settings, Text tab.* Sleep bonus does not affect the main [[fighting]] skill(unless using the [[practice doll]]). However, its subskills (defensive, aggressive, and normal) and other fighting-related skills, (such as shields and swords) and archery and its subskills, do receive the bonus.* Sleep bonus has no effect on faith, alignment, or favor.* [[White Sleep powder]] also gives 1 grants the user one hour of sleep bonus.* [[Rite spells]] give 5 hours of sleep bonus to the relevant god's followers who pray within 24 hours of the spell being cast.* The Vynoran spell [[Wisdom of Vynora]] can be used to transform a players available [[fatigue]] into sleep bonus.* Sometimes SB is awarded for everybody as a compensation for some server problem that prevented normal Wurm play. Sporadically, there are times where players will have 10 hours of Sleep bonus unintendedly if the player has 5 hours accumulated already. This does not increase the pool of sleep you're able to accumulate and after you cannot gain any sleep bonus above 5 hours through sleeping if you're over your 5 hours despite having had 10 hours. *Per [http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/4976-wurm-staff/ Keenan]: ''"Sleep bonus has a hard cap of 10 hours, and a soft cap of 5 or 6 depending on if you've completed the journal entry. This means that as a player, you can only gain up to 5 or 6 hours respectively, whereas we can grant sleep bonus up to a maximum of 10 hours total on your character."'' *Characters with high Fats nutrition level have reduced sleep bonus drain. This is done by restoring an amount of sleep bonus relative to the level of fat bar, for every 5 seconds of sleep bonus, receive x seconds back.*When claiming sleep bonus increases from journal entries, the cap is 10 hours, the same as the developer given sleep bonus cap.
