Project ZomboidSleep in Project Zomboid affects player fatigue and time progression. On multiplayer servers, you can configure whether sleep is available and whether it's required for survival.
On multiplayer servers, enabling sleep can be problematic. Time cannot advance while other players are awake, which may frustrate players who want to skip night.
Sleep Settings

Configuring Sleep
- Navigate to the Wabbanode Control Panel and Stop your server.
