How To Sleep in Sons of The Forest?
Before we get into the nitty-gritty, let’s figure out what you need to do exactly to get a good night’s sleep(if you can) in Sons of The Forest. Like Minecraft, you need a little shelter to get some snoozing in. But how can you craft one in the first place?
- The most basic shelter in Sons of The Forest is a tarp with a stick. It can’t get any shabbier than that.
- To get the tarp and sticks, check out one of the washed-up containers on the beach. You’ll have to scour a bit to locate it. But after it’s all said and done, place it in your inventory.
- Sticks are pretty easy to find in the game. Just look around the shore or some of the dense forest areas to find a couple of sticks. Only one will suffice.
- Go into your inventory and equip the tarp. Set it on the ground.
- Equip the stick to hold up its corner and voila! You’ve got yourself a fine make-shift shelter.
- You can either save the game near the tarp. Use the crescent moon prompt to go to sleep.
- Going to sleep recovers all of your stamina and energy. When it’s all said and done and you need to set up shelter somewhere else, dismantle your shelter.
To dismantle your shelter:
- Equip the small axe
- Hit the stick holding the tarp and it will drop to the ground.
- Put all the items back in your inventory.
- To put the tarp back in your inventory, press C to fold it up and add it to your inventory.
- You need to keep your hands empty to fold up the tarp.
Why Do You Need To Sleep in Sons of The Forest?

You’ll basically be out of commission. No more sprinting, carrying heavy objects, or effective engagements with cannibals and mutants.
How To Not Become Tired After Sleeping?
Keep engagements and battles with cannibals and mutants to a minimum. Stave off of sprinting all willy-nilly. Don’t carry heavy equipment all the time. Make sure to get ample sleep under your makeshift tarp shelter.
