Sleep Buffs

Give your Farmer a reason to go to bed early!

Safe to uninstall anytime. Removing it just disables the features.

Overview

In vanilla Stardew Valley, the only penalty for staying up late is a minor energy loss the next morning. Sleep Buffs changes that by making your sleep schedule directly impact your skills and performance the next day.

If you treat your body right, you wake up energized. If you push yourself past midnight, you will wake up groggy and weak.

Features

Well Rested Buff: Go to bed before 10:00 PM, and you will wake up with a randomly generated buff granting +1 to two different stats.
(Optional) Sleep Deprived Debuff: If you go to bed after 12:00 AM, you will wake up with a randomly generated debuff removing -1 from two different stats.
Randomized Effects: Every morning is different! You might get a boost to Speed and Luck one day, and Fishing and Mining the next.
HUD Notifications: The game tells you exactly how well you slept and which stats were affected via a custom status effect icon.

Available Stats Pool, many different combinations:
Farming, Fishing, Mining, Combat, Foraging, Luck, Speed, Defense, Attack, Max Stamina.

How it Works

The mod tracks the exact time you enter your bed to sleep:

1. Sleep 8+ Hours (Bed before 10:00 PM)

Result: "Well Rested" Buff.
Effect: +1 to 2 random stats (or +30 Max Energy).

2. Sleep 6 to 8 Hours (10:10 PM - 12:00 AM)

Result: Neutral.
Effect: Normal day. No buffs, no debuffs.

3. Sleep Less than 6 Hours (Bed after 12:00 AM)

Result: "Sleep Deprived" Debuff.
Effect: -1 to 2 random stats (or -30 Max Energy).
(Note: You can disable this penalty in the config if you only want the positive rewards!)

Available Stats Pool:
Farming, Fishing, Mining, Combat, Foraging, Luck, Speed, Defense, Attack, Max Stamina.

Optional Sleep Debuff:
