Sleeping Under Protection.

By sleeping; I do NOT mean that you simply press a button and in game hours zoom by at a substantial rate and the suddenly your problems are gone... Not, in the slightest of what I mean.

If you were to open your gear; you would see a Sleeping Bag. This would allow you to sleep anywhere (not advised) by simply right clicking the bad and selecting the "SLEEP" option... What are the benefits? Sleep will help fight illness, and slow the rate of dehydration and hunger--but once you awake you will need to have a meal.

In order to keep that feeling of imminent and constant danger; sleeping would still present you STILL ACTIVE within the game world. This means that you are vulnerable to bandit attack, robbery, wondering Zombies, etc.

So; this means that you would have to protect yourself while you sleep... What would be useful is a set of traps placed around your area to help protect you... I had posted a thread before about Bear Traps/Trip Wires, and other wounding/warning devices--and I hear that it is being implemented into the game :D

Imagine setting up your sleeping bag in a valley surrounded by trees. In order to protect yourself; you set up tripwires with FLARE attachments all around you. These help warn you if danger is coming. Then if they get closer--they meet the bear traps!

But how would you see the flare if you are asleep? Close your eyes and look to a light source. Notice how you can still see it!? Same principal in the game.

End Rant: So how do you feel about this idea? Feel free to build upon!

I really cant see the point of going to sleep in game. Pretty boring...

If all it does is slow hunger and illness, what's the point? You won't be able to try and treat the illness or find food while you're asleep. The only real use it would have is while you're offline, but in that case, things like flare traps wouldn't help obviously, and it would probably be hard to get the materials to set up multiple layers of deadly traps all around you, so you don't get attacked.

Not really sure what the purpose of sleeping would be.
