How to Sleep
Look for Beds in Stalker Camps and Bases
You can let Skif sleep by looking for an open bed, usually found in Stalker Camps and Bases, and interacting with it.
Remove Any Status Ailment First
The game won't let you sleep until all of your status ailments are removed either. You'll need to cleanse all active status ailments first with the necessary recovery items before you can access a bed.
Another bad news is that even if you just ate and removed the Hunger status before sleeping, you will be hungry again after waking up.

Sleep and Resting Effects
You Get Hungry Afterwards
Hunger will still accumulate even while you're sleeping, so it's likely that you'll wake up with the Hunger status almost full. Be sure to eat something right away after waking up as Hunger can hinder your movement.
Switch to Morning Immediately
Sleeping also skips time in the game to morning, which is useful if you're not comfortable exploring in the dark. Visibility is almost zero in most areas at night, especially if you haven't set the right brightness setting and have your flashlight turned off.
Remove Skiff's Sleep Deprivation
Sleep will remove Skiff's Sleep Deprivation, which you will get if you go too long without sleeping. This is indicated by a moon icon on the lower left of your UI, where you can find the hunger and encumbered icons.
Not sleeping does not affect Skiff in any other negative ways. You will only see Skiff yawn and close his eyes occasionally, which can be annoying. Still, it doesn't put you in a life-or-death situation.
Energy Drinks Can Remove Sleep Deprivation
If sleeping is not an option at the moment, you can chug an Energy Drink to help Skiff stay awake. It can also replenish a lot of stamina, which is good if you're exploring around the zone.
