My habit from Skyrim/Fallout Survival mode, Long Dark, and other survival games is to sleep every night. So it’s what I do naturally. My pattern in CP2077 is typically get home in the evening. Sell everything in the drop box. Go to wardrobe to change into my house clothes. Which is pretty much the same as RL. Organize stash if needed. Sleep for 7-10 hours. Do 1 hour meditation (wait) when I wake up. Shower (and coffee if I get to my new apartment). Wardrobe to change out of my house clothes, and leave in the morning. On certain occasions when I know I need to go somewhere at night, I just go to bed earlier so that I make it in the time frame of the quest no matter what. And of course, in cases I sleep elsewhere, I factor that in. So even though I would prefer to have a fatigue/sleep mechanic, I end up just naturally playing as if it exists anyway.

Does anybody stay alive every day?
Kalaaleq93
Not every night.

Proper sleep is good for your cognitive and mental health, 3 out of 10 ripperdocs recommend it to prevent cyberpsychosis”

If I have nothing to do then yea

Not to mention that sleep and shower give you bonuses.

I have been home like 6 times since I had the game. I’m 90 hrs in

Most nights. Night City looks so pretty at night
neon_hellscape
No, and it’s pretty rare that I visit any of apartments to begin with. I just don’t really get much out of role playing that seriously, but more power to those that do, though.

I usually forget and just keep going through the night

Not every night but when I get done playing IRL I like to lay down and sleep. That way when I get back to playing again I start by waking up. It is worth noting that sometimes I don’t get to play for a week or two in between so it’s better to start as a new day rather than in the middle of something and not remember what I was doing.
If I’m not near a bed, like out in the wasteland I’ll park the car somewhere out of the way and save there. As if I’m sleeping in the car

My V has been awake for three and a half months straight now

I like to have fun with roleplay in the game so yeah, I’ll have my V sleep in one of the apartments every so often. Plus the XP boost is nice so I tend to do it before a big gig since that works on both levels.

Thought it was only me lol

i play very role-play like i love the immersion so yea. also i don’t think a lot of people know you get an XP buff and if you have the Glen you can drink the coffee for stamina.

doing a playthrough of the game where you try to go through the game as if you were an actual living breathing person sounds like a fun little side project. paying attention to what time it is and having breakfast lunch and dinner at the right time while still trying to do gigs in between and then heading to bed and sleeping for a full night.
would be a nightmare lol but might be a fun “niche” thing to do.

I’m re-downloading the game and my next run will be the “Somewhat normal run” thanks to this post.
I’ll keep my character hydrated, buy them food and make them sleep every night unless I’m stuck in a mission :3
bobbyboblin
That’s funny. I tried to have my V live a life like that, made sure they ate and slept. Definitely tried to make it back to an apartment at the end of a day. Good times
The999Mind
I sleep and shower every real life hour. Those XP boosts are no joke.
Vamanas_umbrella
I don’t even do that shit irl
theabyssstaresback
Not every night. But I try to end up in one of my apartments fairly regularly, especially the ones I can look outside (so not my shoebox) and just look out at Night City. I actually enjoy the original apartment most for that. Of course, after I’m done staring for a while, or lounging on the couch watch the All-Ads channel because I find it hilarious, I always send V for a shower, then some sleep. Not every night, I like to think the world there is too busy to sleep every night, but… as awful as the place can be, there’s nothing like Night City. Choom was right.

I have a survivor mod on so I have no choice but to sleep eat and drink.
ClockwerkKaiser
Nah I sleep every day, shower, then go out all night.
I live for the neon glow.

Nah, not useful enough.

Night is when the city gets good

Oh that’s a must
After the shower and fake use of the toilet ofc

When I get a chance too

Tbh no. I love cyberpunk at night it’s a whole different vibe.
KaiFanreala
More like sleep everyday, wake up every night. Night City’s best when the neon shines and the rain falls.
xboxseriesX82
Yeah, and I stock up on ammo from Wilson’s in the morning
BetterCranberry7602
I only use my apartments to see Panam.
BaconBombThief
Sometimes I dress up and fight crime instead, but most nights I sleep at least a few hours
Edit: oh shit are we talking about cyberpunk?

I touch home base most days, unless a mission has me sleeping somewhere else. I find it handy to have a reminder to clear out my inventory, do a little crafting (as an aside, I can’t modify my chrome without visiting a Ripper *but* I can fashion an entire new gun from an assortment of parts I keep in my pockets while standing in the street – no, I’m going to do it in my custom armoury) and pick up the perks.
I also eat regularly – my current playthrough, for fun my V eats and drinks anything he finds on the corpses he finds/makes on his adventures, it amuses me to be munching a croissant in a gunfight with a bunch of Maelstrom goons.
