Ok, so my two little people are tired/exhausted. I've gotten them to both to go to bed. I exited the game and returned about an 30 min to 1 hr. later and see my people are up moving around, etc. I've done this at least twice yet their status is still the same (Tired or Exhausted). Anyone know why I cannot get my people to go to sleep & "recharge" their energy levels?

I don't see anything about this in the strategy guide nor do I see any posts about this.

Thanks in advance & good luck everyone!

Im having a similar problem Vicki. My two people have been tired for a while, so I have them go to bed. They wake up themselves when they aren't tired anymore and continuing doing whatever, but they still have a low energy level and are tired again within minutes...

I had the same problem with the guy.

I solved it by keeping the game open and putting him to sleep every time I would see him wonder around.

It took a while but it worked.

There is also an energy drink but I did not have it in the store.

I am also having that problem. Can't get them to stay asleep long enough for it to have any affect.

Keep putting them to bed. They'll eventually get there. And, read the emails from you peeps; it could contain tips.

maybe bed upgrades?

same problem here, but also mine won't sleep in the bed. They will only take a nap on the couch. Is this time thing a glitch because it looks like the days aren't advancing either.

Praise them when they go to sleep or take a nap and they will do it a little more often. Did this with my kid and had to start praising him for playing to keep him from sleeping all the time.

I think this is a major issue with this game...

The people sleep, and yet they wake up before they are 'happy' again, or else just wake up and do other things.

No-one wants to see their little person with status 'exhausted', but with nothing that will console them.

(with use of the praise glove) they choose to 'take a nap' and 'go to bed' now, but with no effect to them - they don't get less tired from doing either.

Even if there is an energy drink in the shop, I believe sleep should be better than that to keep them healthy!

If real humans take 8 hours to recharge, surely it should be an equivalent in this game.

is it night or day where you are elizabeths184? Last night my peeps were getting more and more tired, but after I shut down for the night and turned back on this morning, they were nearly fully rested. Their energy level has been steadily dropping all day, and my workaholic has hit exhausted twice today. Both times he took a nice long nap and woke up with significant increase in his energy (though not even close to the overnight full level)

Do your peeps play? Watch TV or listen to nature? My gal does that about half the time and her level has not dropped as much or as fast as his. I have to pick him up and make him do things other than work every so often or he forgets to look up and smell the coffee.
