'''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.

Sleep bonus is gained through the 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 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)opposite has no delay.

* 2x skill /stat gain

* Sometimes skill gain is so small that you won't be sure sleep bonus is working 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 of Springspells]] spell gives SB give 5 hours of sleep bonus to every Vynoran follower online when the relevant god's followers who pray within 24 hours of the spell is being cast.* The Vynoran spell [[Wisdom of Vynora]] can be used to transform a players available [[fatigue]] into sleep bonus.* Sometimes SB is rewarded awarded for everybody as a compensation for some server problem that prevented using normal Wurmplay. 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."''
