== 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 real-life hours (all times are in real-life time, not [[Wurm time]]) each day , without hindering players who can stay logged on for a long time. Sleep bonus is gained through the use of a [[bed]].

While rested, == Usage ==Sleep bonus is gained through the use of a [[bed]]: log out by right-clicking a vacant bed inside a player has 3x stamina regeneration completed house and 2x skill gainselect 'Bed' > 'Sleep'. A player receives 1 minute of sleep bonus for every 24 minutes of sleep, with a maximum of 5 hoursof stored sleep bonus. Minimum time to stay asleep is 1 hour. (All times are in real-life time, not [[Wurm time]].)

You can freeze and resume the consumption of sleep bonus with the command "'/fsleep"'. You will need to wait 5 minutes There is a 4 minute delay before you can resume using SB after turning it off, but the command again (to unfreeze, or freeze again). Press F5 to se your current remaining sleep bonus and whether it is frozen or unfrozenopposite has no delay.

Note that when logging in, You can use the '/sleep' command or press F5 to see your current remaining sleep bonus will be and whether it is frozen or unfrozen as you logged out - i.e. if you logged out with it frozen, it will still be frozen when you log back in.

===Notes===* The maximum 5 hours of 'Sometimes skill gain is so small that you won't be sure sleep bonus'' is reached at 120 hours of sleepworking or not. Set "Skillgain tab updates" to "Per 0.001 increase" 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 also archery and its subskills, do receive the bonus.* Sleep bonus has no effect on faith, alignment, 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."''
