Realism Enhanced - Sleep Module

Part of the Realism Enhanced series - a modular approach to survival realism in Necesse. Each module operates independently, allowing you to build your ideal survival experience one system at a time.

Transforms sleep from an optional mechanic into a vital survival need. Staying awake too long has consequences, and proper rest provides real benefits.

• Dynamic sleep system with buffs and debuffs based on rest level
  
• Sleepy debuff (≤20% sleep): Configurable movement speed penalty
  
• Well Rested buff (≥70% sleep): Movement speed bonus
  
• Gradual sleep restoration while using beds - no instant full rest
  
• Fully configurable sleep drain rate and speed penalties via simple config file
  
• Debug command (/setsleep) for testing and balancing
  
• Works as a standalone mod or alongside other Realism Enhanced modules
  
• Compatible with existing saves and multiplayer
  
• No performance impact

Edit realismenhanced-sleep.cfg (located in %APPDATA%\Necesse\) to adjust difficulty. Two main settings control your experience:

Controls how quickly you get tired:

Controls how much the Sleepy debuff slows you down when sleep drops below 20%:

• Plan ahead - sleep doesn't restore instantly. Budget ~2 minutes of bed time for full rest.
  
• Maintain above 70% sleep to enjoy the Well Rested speed bonus
  
• Don't let sleep drop below 20% or face the Sleepy penalty
  
• Place beds strategically throughout your world for emergency rest stops
  
• Sleeping restores gradually - you can leave early if you just need a quick boost

Use /setsleep <0.0-1.0> to instantly set your sleep level for testing
Example: /setsleep 0.19 sets sleep to 19% (triggers Sleepy debuff)
