Sleeping

[nerfed 8]

Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting your character should require actual sleep or anything that consumes your precious time for no reason.

what I'm suggesting, is more of a solution to people instantly disconnecting the moment danger says hi.

Sleeping (or not sleeping) would come with some (dis)advantages as well, to make it more tempting to actually sleep.

Sleeping would work with a utility item that you spawn with. You can sleep anywhere you want. Going to sleep takes 5 seconds, after which you can safely log out.

Note that You can't go to sleep if you are in shock (commonly caused by being shot, or even just shot at).

Advantages to sleeping:

You had a good rest, and you're ready for another day of survival.

- You regain blood very slowly over time, even after you disconnect.

- Broken bones will heal after a certain amount of time spent sleeping (you really shouldn't rely on this, but it can work out if you don't feel like playing anymore and happen to have broken legs.. Go to sleep, and your legs are healed the next day).

Penalties for not sleeping:

You've had a terrible sleep, and wake up in a heavy state of shock. It takes you a couple of seconds to fully wake up, and realize you woke up from hunger and thirst.

- Upon loading, your character passes out for 10 seconds (you join the game 10 seconds before your character wakes up).

- Hunger and thirst are very low, leaving you 5 minutes before they start flashing.

- Your character has a severe case of shock upon waking up

- Your character screams upon waking up (should give away your position if anyone is nearby).

I really think this fits in day z. On top of that, it also discourages people from instantly disconnecting when they're in trouble, and encourages people to spend 5 seconds to 'safely' log out (rather than having your character remain active for 5 seconds after logging out). Also on top of this suggestion, it would be nice to have your character instantly disappear when you log out while asleep, but have your character remain on the server for 5 seconds if you log out without sleeping.
