The day cycle is a period of 18 hours in game (or 13.5 minutes real time; 1 in-game hour is 45 seconds) from 6:00 AM to 12:00 AM (Midnight). Past midnight, the player's character becomes tired and in need of sleep. However, a player can stay awake until 2:00 AM, after which their character will pass out. If a player passes out they will wake up in bed, having been dragged there by, first, the town's doctor, and then a Joja member or the doctor, in each case some of the player's money will be lost (the details of this transaction will appear as a letter in the player's letter box).

It is considered nighttime after 6:00 PM, which makes it possible to catch night time fish. This being said, it doesn't become dark until 8:00 PM.

The game saves only after the player has gone to bed and the daily profit breakdown has been accepted, commencing the end of day.

Sleep will restore the player's Energy and Health to full if they go to bed before 2:00 AM and are not exhausted, and to half if they pass out or are exhausted.
