Sleep

Sleep is an optional action available at the bed in the player's home from 6:00 PM through 5:59 AM. Sleeping normally advances the clock to 9:00 AM, clears missed-sleep fatigue, and may trigger a story dream or a random Sleep Event.

Sleep is separate from the midnight transition. Midnight and Moon Events occur even if the player stays awake.

What sleeping does

• advances the clock to the normal 9:00 AM wake time;
• resets the Sleepless Counter;
• removes the cumulative missed-sleep states;
• checks for the first eligible unfinished story dream; and
• if no story dream takes priority, rolls a Luck-influenced good or bad night.

Story dreams replace the random sleep-event roll for that night. A forced-good tutorial sleep and Restful Sleep also prevent bad-night outcomes.

Good and bad nights

Luck changes the first decision: whether the night is good or bad.

Luck state	Good night	Bad night
Very Unlucky	33.33%	66.67%
Unlucky	41.67%	58.33%
Normal	50%	50%
Lucky	58.33%	41.67%
Very Lucky	66.67%	33.33%
Restful Sleep or forced-good tutorial sleep	100%	0%

The outcome within the selected good or bad pool is a separate roll. See Sleep Events for individual rewards, penalties, encounters, and conditions.

Remaining awake

The Sleepless Counter increases at midnight when the player has not slept. A Night-Owl Potion has a 50% chance to prevent an increase. Sleeping resets the counter and removes the states below.

Counter	New effect	Mechanical effect
1	None	No mechanical penalty
2	Heavy Eyelids	−15% EXP gain
3	Slow Reflexes	−15% Agility
4	Sleep Deprivation and Deeper Insight	−15% Food Effect; −30% MP cost
5	Awakened Senses and Mind Rot	+15% physical and magical damage; −10% Hit Rate
6+	Fully Awake	+10 percentage points to Critical Rate

These effects are cumulative: later thresholds do not remove the earlier states.

Dying in sleep

Death is only one conditional result inside the bad-night system. It requires all of the following:

• no story dream takes priority;
• the night is bad;
• the difficulty is not Hard or Nightmare;
• Autosave Erase is disabled;
• an independent 50% eligibility roll succeeds; and
• the sleep-hazard roll selects tier 1, a 1-in-6 result.

The event subtracts exactly 1,000 HP with death allowed. A character above 1,000 HP can survive the damage, although the death-routing flag is still set. On standard eligible difficulties, an actual game over normally returns the player home, resets the world as part of the recovery flow, and removes 5% of current gold. An equipped Opal Ring +2 can break to prevent that standard gold loss. Custom difficulty uses its configured loss and does not use the same ring-protection check.
