> In a multiplayer environment, skipping the night can be difficult if players are spread out across the island or if someone is AFK in a base. By adjusting the "Sleep Percentage," you can control how many people must use a tent or bed simultaneously for the server to accelerate time to the next morning.

## Configuration Variable

This setting is found in your main gameplay configuration file:

* **Path:** `/userdata/dedicatedservergameplay.json`
* **Variable:** `"GameSetting.V.PlayersSleepingPercentage": 100`

***

## Recommended Thresholds

* **100% (Default):** Requires every single player online to be tucked into a bed. This is often impossible on public servers.
* **50% (Recommended):** Only half the server needs to sleep. This is the community standard for active dedicated servers.
* **1% (Instant Skip):** As long as one person is sleeping, the night will skip. Use this for low-population friend groups.

<Note>
  ### Tree Regrowth Link

  Remember that [Tree Regrowth](/games/sons-of-the-forest/enabling-tree-regrowth) is tied to the sleep cycle. If your server never sleeps (because the percentage is too high), your forests will never regenerate naturally.
