Sleep & the lamp

Sleep restores energy. Your Tama naps when it is tired and sleeps through the night. The lamp icon switches the lights off and on.

Naps

  • When its energy falls to 25% of the stage’s most, your Tama naps in its bed. The lamp stays on.
  • A nap lasts until energy is full. Then your Tama wakes up and the lamp comes back on.
  • Asleep, energy rises 1 point every 300 seconds with the lamp on, and every 60 seconds with it off.

  • At bedtime your Tama goes to sleep, and it stays asleep until its wake time, even with full energy.
  • The lamp stays as you left it at bedtime. It comes on when your Tama wakes up.
  • A nap that runs into bedtime becomes the night’s sleep. A Tama still tired at its wake time naps on.

Night sleep: enabled.

The lamp

  • Select the lamp icon to switch the lamp off or on. It has no menu.
  • With the lamp off, the screen is dark. A sleeping Tama shows only a breathing Z.
  • Switching the lamp off sends an awake Tama to sleep: for the night at night, and for a nap in the day. In the day with full energy, the lights go out but your Tama stays awake.
  • Switching the lamp on wakes a sleeping Tama.

Waking your Tama

  • Waking your Tama, with the lamp or an action, costs 20 happiness.
  • A Tama you woke stays awake for 30 minutes. Then it goes back to sleep if it is night or it is still tired.
  • Pat, Time Out and Meditate wake your Tama, then happen.
  • Games, places, food, items, Toilet and Medicine are refused while your Tama sleeps.
  • Hunger, happiness, age and lifecycle time keep advancing during sleep. Poo and sickness continue; need alerts wait until it is awake.

Deep sleep and boosted energy

  • Energy over the stage’s most is boosted energy, with no limit. It is used up like any other energy, but sleep only refills energy up to the most. Growing up refills energy to the new most and keeps any boosted energy.
  • After 60 minutes of unbroken night sleep with full energy, every 60 minutes of sleep adds 1 boosted point. Naps never do.
  • An ENRG DRINK, a snack from the Corner Shop, adds 10 energy, which can go over the most. It also adds 10 happiness and 1 stress.
