On multiplayer severs, you can only get sleep if everybody gets in a bed. Which is unlikely. Which is why the following only applies to single player.
As a person who went 5 days with roughly 6 hours of sleep, I suggest that we add annoying side effects for sleepless nights. You feel tired, weak, dizzy, and unfocused. So why not in Minecraft? Part of Minecraft's enjoyableness is the fact that its not realistic. But sleep is a basic. You need a lot of it, you definetely want it.
Sleep would be counted like health and hunger. You get 10 little moons or something. Side effects would come along as shown:
10 Moons- Nothing
8 Moons- Slower block placings and movements
5 Moons- Occasional closing of the eyes (dark screen)
3 Moons- Player has to take a rest every 50 blocks
2 Moons- Player starts to lose focus (everything on the screen becomes more distant)
1 Moon- Player dramatically loses speed
0 Moons- Death
Yes, this would probably be a pain in the ass to program. So instead of talking about programming and how hard it is to make beds, I'd like to hear about what you think of the idea.
I think that this is a great idea, but only as a mod. As you said, the best part of Minecraft is that it isn't realistic, and this would get really annoying. It would make for a really good mod though, especially if you want to add more realism to the game. So... I wouldn't want this in the game, but it would make for a great mod. Nice idea!

your right :smile.gif: if this was mandatory it would really screw some people up, and would get really annoying. i see your point with the mod thing though.
I like it! However, I can see this getting annoying quickly. Maybe make it
1. Only on hard
2. Toggleable, like [Sleep: On/Off]
I certainly like the idea tho!
you and happypie both make good points. in response to you diaperboy, i like the idea of it being toggleable. it was also said that it could be a mod. im liking the sound of both of them :smile.gif:
Awesome idea b:But for zero moons instead of death maybe you faint and lose half yourstuff but there's down side to your idea IT'S MAKING THIS GAME TURN INTO SIMS AAAAAH :biggrin.gif:
Why did you smile after you said there is a down side? O.O
Good idea, but 0 moons should not kill you, especially since that doesn't happen in real life. You should just automatically fall asleep wherever you are, like Halo said. It should also utilize Somnia, if it were to be a mod - or better yet, be an addition to Somnia.

yeah, i suppose so :smile.gif: the two things i've heard are that you shouldn't be killed at 0, and that it should be a mod or toggled. im glad to see such positive responses though, i'd make this a mod but im not remotely experienced at creating them :tongue.gif: also, i looked at somnia and it does seem like it could be utilized into it. maybe it could be included in future Somnia additions?

Probably. Might want to talk to the creater of Somnia about it.

Rainbow Dash is Mah Laz0r. Your Argument Is Invalid.
I dislike this. It adds a level of tediousness that would take away from the people who like to brave the night.
it wouldn't be like you needed 9 hours of sleep a night or something like that, as that would ruin night-time workers. it would be like a few minecraft hours a week or something. im glad to here your opinion, though. it was probably stupid to suggest adding it onto survival. it would be more of a mod/plugin.

Maybe you should click this?

Oh, right. Derp.
It would still be a good idea to PM him about it or post it on the Somnia thread.
i posted it on the somnia thread! i'll check back in a bit but i gtg for now :smile.gif:
